advantages of bioplastic in hindi
Answers
Answer:
• Potentially a much lower carbon footprint. It should be pointed out that the carbon footprint of a bioplastic is
crucially dependent on whether the plastic permanently stores the carbon extracted from the air by the growing plant.
A plastic made from a biological source sequesters the CO2 captured by the plant in the photosynthesis process. If
the resulting bioplastic degrades back into CO2 and water，this sequestration is reversed. But a permanent bioplastic，
made to be similar to polyethylene or other conventional plastics，stores the CO2 forever. Even if the plastic is
recycled many times，the CO2 initially taken from the atmosphere remains sequestered. • Lower energy costs in manufacturing. On the other hand，plastics are made from ~4% of the oil that the world
uses every year. With oil scarcity the manufacture of plastics becomes increasingly exposed to fluctuating prices. • Do not use scarce crude oil. In contrast，each kilogram of plastic typically requires 20 kilowatt hours of energy to
manufacture，more than the amount needed to make the same weight of steel. Almost all this comes from fossil
sources
