The creation of early bioplastics from cellulose,milk and bacteria has paved the way to providing solutions to today's more complex global issues,such as climate change and marine litter due to rising volumes of non-degradable plastic waste.Researchers and scientists are instrumental to advancing bioplastics technology.There is,after all,an avalanche of resources that can be harnessed to create bioplastics.But there is a caveat,according to some experts: the raw material used as feedstock may outweigh the benefits of producing and utilising bioplastics at an industrial scale.The solution anchors to staying within the circular economy schema to cultivate sustainability;and by using waste as bioplastic raw material is one way to achieving this.
