The major disadvantage of bioplastics is their low biostability. They are sensitive to degradation by biological agents. This disadvantage make bioplastics inappropriate for many application that need materials with high stability.

hi,
Biodegradable plastic is the material that will decompose naturally when introduced in the environment. This outcome is achievable because the microorganisms in the environment are able to break down the structures which make the biodegradable plastic. It creates a result which is believed to be eco-friendly compared to the traditional plastics that we throw away every day.
We can make biodegradable plastics from bio-plastics, which are products that are made from renewable raw materials instead of virgin items that we must harvest at a potential cost to the overall environment. There are typically two forms that we use today: solid and injection-molded. We would use the solid forms for bags, water bottles, and food containers. The other option makes the other plastic items that we consume.
Numerous plant materials are useful in the making of biodegradable plastics today. Manufacturers can create items using plants, starches, corn oil, or even the peels from citrus fruits. That means we no longer need to use the chemical fillers that are found in the traditional items, which then enter the environment when the plastic is melted to release them. Biodegradable plastics offer a substance that is made from a natural source, so the risks of breaking down are much fewer.
These are the current advantages and disadvantages of biodegradable plastics to review.
List of the Advantages of Biodegradable Plastics
1. Biodegradable plastics offer reduces carbon dioxide levels.
We are producing more waste plastic today than ever before in human history. These items are finding their way into our oceans and even contaminating our drinking water. Scientists estimate that there could be more waste plastic in the ocean than fish by the year 2050, with tap water containing microplastics up to 80% of the time. Researchers at the University of Bath have created a plastic that only uses sugar and carbon dioxide, resulting in polycarbonates that no longer need to use petrochemicals and their CO2 emissions necessary for refinement. Plastics like these break down naturally, only depositing the amount of gas back into the environment that was used to create it in the first place.
2. Biodegradable plastics can reduce greenhouse gas emission levels.
When you use biodegradable plastics instead of items made through the traditional refinement process, then fewer greenhouse gas emissions escape into the atmosphere. We consume over 100 million tons of plastic each year, which means the standard 5:1 ratio of production indicates that this industry produces 500 million tons of carbon dioxide that goes into our atmosphere each year. That number is equivalent to the annual emissions of 19 million vehicles.
If we were to recycle our plastics each year, then our net carbon savings alone would be up to 30%, which some researchers suggesting the savings could be as high as 80%.
