What are the differences between bioplastic and man made plastic? how can use of bioplastic save environment?
Answers
Explanation:
Bioplastics are plastics derived from renewable biomass sources, such as vegetable fats and oils, corn starch, straw, woodchips, food waste, etc. Bioplastic can be made from agricultural by-products and also from used plastic bottles and other containers using microorganisms. Common plastics, such as fossil-fuel plastics (also called petrobased polymers) are derived from petroleum or natural gas. Not all bioplastics are biodegradable nor biodegrade more readily than commodity fossil-fuel derived plastics. Bioplastics are usually derived from sugar derivatives, including starch, cellulose, and lactic acid. As of 2014, bioplastics represented approximately 0.2% of the global polymer market (300 million tons).

Answer:
Bio plastics are made of vegetable peels and fruit pulps and so they can be degradable wastes and their cost of making is low . But the plastics are not decomposable as their strong poly elastic structure resists the nitrobacteria in the soil and can be non degradable for more than 100 years.
Bio plastics can save the environment as they do not harm the soil and they can also be degradable in water whereas plastics cannot.
