Title

BIOPLASTICS: SCOPE & EXTENT OF USE IN FOOD INDUSTRY—A REVIEW

Abstract

It would not be incorrect to call today’s era as “Plastic Age”, as disposables and other plastic utility items have become a very important and inseparable part of human life. Though plastics pose several health related negative effects, that can be carcinogenic, owing to the toxins present in them. Excessive use of chemicals of varied types, blazing of PVC plastic, making use of bio-chemicals, have all in turn contributed to the ecological imbalance. Proper and correct plastic waste management not solely reduces quantum and volume of waste generated, however conjointly changes the standard of waste. The problems associated with plastic wastes have compelled researchers to come up with the idea of “Bioplastics”. Such plastics are able to degrade themselves into carbon dioxide, methane or water, by the action of either enzymatic action or specific environmental conditions. Some biodegradable plastic materials incipient are Poly hydroxy alkanoates (PHAs), Polylactic acid (PLA), poly-3-hydroxybutyrate(PHB), and co-polymers and blends of above. This review article was intented to study the scope and extent of usage of bioplastics in food industry, and in our lives.
