“Biobased Polymer” Composed or derived in whole or in part of biological products issued from the biomass (including plant, animal, and marine or forestry materials). Note — A biobased polymer or polymeric device is not necessarily environmentally friendly nor biocompatible nor biodegradable, especially if it is similar to a petro-based (oil-based) polymer.
