Answer 1

Answer:

PHBV-Poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate), commonly known as PHBV, is a polyhydroxyalkanoate-type polymer. It is biodegradable, nontoxic, biocompatible plastic produced naturally by bacteria and a good alternative for many non-biodegradable synthetic polymers. It is a thermoplastic linear aliphatic polyester.

PLA-Polylactic Acid (PLA) or Polylactide (PLA), is a biodegradable, thermoplastic polymer made with two possible monomers or building blocks: lactic acid, and lactide. PLA is a bio-based plastic material made from plants instead of oil and derived from renewable resources like corn starch or sugar cane.
