Definition of Bioplastics

摘要

The basic idea behind bioplastics is taken from nature's cycle.Worldwide,more than 100 billion tonnes of organic material is generated every year by photosynthesis.Most of ft is subsequently converted back into the starting products,carbon dioxide and water,by micro-organisms.This cycle is the role model for bioplastics,that are often made from renewable raw materials obtained from agricultural production.When biodegradable plastics (or certain other products in general) have served their purpose,they can be composted - a recycling method for which bioplastics are highly suited [1].
