Question

Bioplastics are plastics, but are from natural sources. Find out how different types of bioplastics
are produced, how expensive it is to produce them, and whether these types of plastics are
completely biodegradable.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Bioplastics are plastics materials produced from renewable biomass sources, such as vegetable fats and oils, corn starch, straw, woodchips, sawdust, recycled food waste, etc. ... Common plastics, such as fossil-fuel plastics (also called petrol-based polymers) are derived from petroleum or natural gas.

Types of Bioplastics

• Starch-Based Bioplastics: Simple bioplastic derived from corn starch.  
• Cellulose-Based Bioplastics: Produced using cellulose esters and cellulose derivatives.
• Protein-Based Bioplastics: Produced using protein sources such as wheat gluten, casein, and milk.

Bioplastic is a plastic that is completely derived from renewable biomass sources, including vegetable fats and oils, as well as corn starch and microbiota.
