Background of Bioplastics

Bioplastic is a substance composed of organic biomass resources and an alternative to plastics. Some bioplastics use microorganisms to create their base materials, like cellulose, vegetable oil, and acids. In contrast, plastics use resin as its main component produced by polymerization. Within 180 days certain types of bioplastic incinerates but plastics do not, because of the petroleum that consists of polyethylene in it, which has strong carbon bonds. Although, polyethylene submits can be transformed into polypropylene,however it requires huge amounts of energy therefore other alternatives are used instead, polyethylene. Furthermore, decomposing organisms cannot break down plastics because they must acquire metabolic pathways in which it does not have. Because of this bioplastics are a solution to many of the economic, social, and ethic issues today. Bioplastics are not only produced and degraded with less carbon dioxide but also reduced landfills and pollution, in result climate change decreases. Petroleum the main source of plastics are becoming scared and as it continues to be, costs rise.  On the contrary, bioplastics are inexpensive to manufacture and are beneficial to the environment. For developing countries, bioplastics are a blessing since resources are organic based.Ultimately, bioplastics is a solution to many of the serious problems because of its feautures and advantages.  (BB 1.1) (BB 1.2) (BB 1.3) (BB 1.4) (BB 1.5)
