Plastics, Biopolymers and their Environmental Impact

Biopolymers are commonly considered an eco-accommodating option in contrast to petrochemical polymers because of the sustainable feedstock used to create them and their biodegradability. Notwithstanding, the cultivating practices used to develop these feedstocks regularly worry about noteworthy ecological concerns, and the creation vitality can be higher than for petrochemical polymers. Life cycle evaluations (LCAs) are accessible in the writing, which make correlations among biopolymers and different petrochemical polymers, anyway the outcomes can be unique. This survey has in this manner been embraced, concentrating on three biodegradable biopolymers, poly (lactic corrosive) (PLA), poly(hydroxyalkanoates) (PHAs), and starch-based polymers, trying to decide the ecological effect of each in contrast with petrochemical polymers.
