Biodegradable plastics are the future of sustainable packaging – breaking down naturally and reducing pollution.
HISTORY / ORIGIN
Biodegradable plastics have been developed as an alternative to conventional plastics. They are made from renewable resources and designed to degrade.
TYPES OF BIODEGRADABLE PLASTICS
PLA (Polylactic Acid) – From corn starch.
PHA (Polyhydroxyalkanoates) – From microorganisms.
Starch-Based Plastics – From plant starch.
PBAT – Compostable polymer.
PBS – Biodegradable polymer.
MATERIALS / KEY FEATURES
Biodegradable plastics are designed to break down in specific conditions, reducing environmental impact.
