Bioplastics are a viable substitute for petroleum-based plastics due to their ability to reduce environmental pollution while still providing excellent barrier properties, stiffness, tensile strength and tear strength. Natural and renewable raw materials are utilized in the production of these items, utilizing either chemical or microbial processes. The utilization of agro-industrial wastes as a substrate for production helps mitigate the negative impact on the environment caused by the disposal of these wastes, as well as the greenhouse gas emissions linked to petroleum-based plastics. Their eco-conscious and easily degradable properties make them a prominent player in the future plastic market and their wide range of applications.
