Biopolymers and Bioplastics

There is a sustainable and biodegradable solution that minimizes negative environmental impacts while maintaining a cost comparable to current methods—Hemp plastic. This material, made entirely from the hemp plant, is 100% biodegradable. The hemp plant absorbs four times more carbon dioxide from the atmosphere than most other plants, making it highly eco-friendly. Additionally, the fiber derived from hemp is stronger than the conventional fibers in use today. This paper highlights the many advantages of utilizing hemp for the production of biodegradable plastics (Hemp Plastic) as a superior alternative to traditional plastics.
