Advantages of Bioplastics and Global Sustainability

Abstract:

Today,bioplastics are becoming increasingly prominent owing mainly to scarcity of oil,increase in the cost of petroleum-based commodities,and growing environmental concerns with the dumping of non-biodegradable plastics in landfills. In this paper,we first discuss the definition and basic facts as well as the major advantages of bioplastics,then the main differences between plastics and bioplastics in packaging are reviewed. Finally,possible future developments of bioplastics are prospected.
