NOTES ABOUT BIOPLASTIC:


NOTES ABOUT Bioplastic Definition

Bioplastic means “plastic derived from biomass”. According to
IUPAC (International union of pure and applied chemistry)
“Biobased polymer derived from the biomass or issued from
monomers derived from the biomass and which, at some stage in
its processing into a finished product, can be shaped by flow.


Bioplastic is an emerging research area because our environment
shows an adverse effect due to the high consuming plastic. The
petroleum-based plastic polyethylene, polypropylene polyester,
polytetrafluoroethylene mainly use our daily life. Petroleum-based
plastic is non-degradable as well as nonrecyclable. Increasing
uses of plastic, not a particular plastic recycling technology in
many countries, plastic waste dump in landfills, oceans.


Every year many aquatic organisms die because of plastic waste,
contaminated soil effect show on crop productivity. Bioplastic
(Biopolymers) research tries to solve this problem. Bioplastic is
degradable and environment-friendly plastic. Bioplastic first tries
to replace one time useable, short time periods using plastic such
as packaging, containers, begs, bottle, pots, crockery, cutlery,
bowls, and straws.
