ABSTRACT
Bioplastics are the biodegradable plastic made from renewable sources such as
corn, sugar beets, wheat. Plastics have been using since many decades because of
its wide range of applications in almost every field. Traditional plastics are
petroleum based and is used widespread because of their easy availability and
cheaper cost. However, the widespread use of plastics become a major problem
due to their non-biodegradable nature and harmful effect on the environment. The
concept of biodegradable plastic is of considerable interest. Researches have been
made for developing degradable bioplastic that do not pollute environment. There
are various kind of biodegradable plastic such as starch-based, cellulose-based and
some aliphatic polyester. Among all these biodegradable plastics, polylactic acid
an aliphatic polyester is currently most popular material with the brightest
development. Recent research developments have demonstrated the feasibility and
commercial applications of bioplastics.
INTRODUCTION
However the widespread use of plastic has become a significant concern due to
their negative impact on the environment. Almost all synthetic plastic are made
from petroleum and these natural resources take millions of years to form and are
finite in quantity. In addition, plastic derived from fossil resources are largely non-
biodegradable. The increase use of plastic over the years has resulted in an increase
in plastic work. There are various harmful effect of using plastic such as plastic
buried deep in landfill can leach harmful chemical that spread into groundwater,
plastic pollution also affect marine life as the plastic debris floats in sea water
consume by sea animals and finally result in their death , it also affect health of
human being also.
