Introduction The world is gradually shifting its focus from conventional plastics to biodegradable plastics . This is because biodegradable plastics are made from renewable resources and are therefore more environmentally friendly. In addition, biodegradable plastics break down into harmless substances when exposed to sunlight or microorganisms, making them safe for both humans and the environment. As a result, the demand for biodegradable plastics is growing at a rapid pace.   What are Biodegradable Plastics? Biodegradable plastics are made from renewable resources such as corn starch, vegetable oils, and other plant-based materials. Unlike traditional petroleum-based plastics, biodegradable plastics will break down over time when exposed to sunlight, water, or microorganisms. This decomposition process is known as bio-degradation. The growing demand for biodegradable plastics is being driven by a number of factors, including increasing environmental awareness, stricter ...
