 Plastic :
A plastic is a type of synthetic or man-made polymer; similar in many
ways to natural resins found in trees and other plants. There are various
reasons for the popularity of plastics. Some of them are

 Low cost

 Resistance to chemical solar and microbial degradation

 Thermal and chemically insulating properties

 Low weight
What is bioplastic ?
 Bioplastic
Plastics that are made from renewable resources (plants like
corn, tapioca, potatoes, sugar , banana & algae) and which are
fully or partially bio-based, and/or biodegradable or compostable
are called bioplastics.

APLICATION OF BIOPLASTIC:

1. Packaging

2. Bags

3. Agriculture & Horticulture

• Mulch film
• Tree protectors and Plant supports/stakes
4. Personal Care and Hygiene
5. Electronics
6. Automobiles
7. Food Packing
8. Construction
Future Scope :
Other commonly available starch sources can be
explored. Food wastes like mango seeds and corn
kernels also have high starch content. Hence these can
also be utilized as a raw material for synthesis of
polymeric films

The banana peels consists of many different components apart

from starch. Currently only the reaction with starch has been
considered. The interaction of all the other components with
the reagents may also have an effect which must also be
quantified.
Advantages of Bioplastics

1. Eco Friendly
2. Require less time to degrade

3. Toxicity

4. Lower energy consumption

5. Environmental protection
