Biopolymers and Bioplastics

• Biopolymers are polymers produced by living organisms in different words, they're polymeric biomolecules. Since they're polymers, biopolymers contain monomeric units which might be covalently bonded to shape large structures. Bioplastics are plastics derived from renewable biomass sources, which includes vegetable fat and oils, corn starch, pea starch or macrobiotic. Bioplastic may be made from agricultural byproducts and additionally from used plastic bottles and different containers the usage of microorganisms. Bioplastics may be composed of starches, cellulose, biopolymers, and a variety of different materials. Industrial biotechnology is, as a long way as possible, primarily based totally on numerous renewable uncooked materials, which includes vegetable oils and fatty acids.
