Biodegradable plastic formation from corn starch

B pharmacy

Increasing use of Petroleum – based Plastic poses environmental challenges Prompting researchers to seek alternative like biodegradable plastic. Starch serves as a natural & renewable alternative to Synthetic polymer in biodegradable plastic production. This research focuses on Creating biodegradable plastic From Corn starch to address various pollution issue As a workable solution to lessen environmental pollution, biodegradable plastics show promise as a substitute for conventional plastics. The natural environment’s microorganisms are essential to the biodegradation of biodegradable polymers. Since starch is widely available, inexpensive, fully biodegradable, highly biocompatible, and has good film-forming qualities, it is seen as a good alternative to synthetic polymers. This work compiles the methods and a potential plan for starch modification to improve the mechanical and barrier properties of starch-based films. Here, we go over how starch-based biodegradable plastics are made, the obstacles to mass production, and some advantages and disadvantage. Starch is regarded as a promising substitute for synthetic polymers since it is widely accessible, reasonably priced, completely biodegradable, highly biocompatible, and has good film-forming properties.
