Biopolymers and Bioplastics

Biopolymers are natural polymers produced by living organisms, like proteins and DNA. Bioplastics are a type of biopolymer made from renewable resources like corn starch or sugarcane. Researchers study biopolymers and bioplastics to find sustainable alternatives to traditional plastics, which are harmful to the environment. They explore ways to make bioplastics more durable, cost-effective, and biodegradable to reduce plastic pollution and promote eco-friendly practices.
