There is an ever-increasing demand for manufacturing plastics out of sustainable resource because raw
materials derived from fossils fuels are rather limited. Bio-based polymers can make excellent candidates
for such materials, and they can make excellent candidates for such materials, and they can contribute to the
well-being of humankind by preserving the earth from nondegradable plastic waste.
Biodegradable plastics are particularly important when the recycling of plastic waste becomes impossible
or very difficult.
