Title

CHALLENGES AND OPPORTUNITIES OF BIOPLASTICS FOR SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT

Abstract

Most plastics that are commercially used today are petroleum based, and can take more than a century to degrade. Under combustion, plastics release cancer causing carcinogenic chemicals that are equally harmful to people and the environment. In this regard, development of “environmental friendly” materials has attracted extensive interest due to increasing environmental and health consciousness. One of the most innovative environmental friendly materials developed recently are ‘Bioplastics’. They are formed from renewable biomass composed of biopolymers, starch, cellulose, and a variety of other sources such as sugarcane, wood, waste paper, vegetable oils and fats, bacteria, algae, etc. Its major advantages include lower carbon footprint, energy efficiency, and eco-safety. The global bioplastics market will be growing at a rate of 20%~25% per year. The demand for packaging is rapidly increasing among retailers and the food industry at large scale. Therefore, it is high time that biodegradable plastics (like bags, sacks, films) should be a favored choice for the applications that demand a economic way to dispose of the item after it has fulfilled its job (e.g. for food packaging, agriculture or medical products). For the sustainability within the allied field, recycling systems, production technology and standardization may be developed. Therefore, the main objective of this work is to look at aspects of biodegradable plastics from the perspective of applications, production, types, opportunities and future challenges.

Key Words

Bioplastics, Biodegradability, Standards, Sustainable development.
