Abstract Background and Objective: Poor biodegradability and the contamination risk of
petrochemical-based plastics encouraged the utilization of renewable resources to replace …

The demand for petroleum-based plastics is a major threat and has had several negative
impacts on the environment. Biodegradable plastics are becoming increasingly attractive …

This study was carried out to evaluate the potential of plastic synthesized using bio-based
starch. The method began with extraction of starch from chosen tubers with high content of …

A huge amount of plastic wastes caused disastrous effects to the environment. Pertaining to
the adverse effects imposed by these wastes, a significant progress is observed in the …

The motivation of this work is to lessen the dependence on non-degradable plastic
packaging which can lead to waste disposal problems. In this paper, the alternative …

Petroleum derived plastics dominate the food packaging industry even today. These
materials have brought a lot of convenience and attraction to agro, food and packaging …

Due to the negative environmental impacts of synthetic plastics, the development of
biodegradable plastics for both industrial and commercial applications is essential today …
