About Synthetic and Bio-based Biodegradable Plastics
Biodegradable materials are materials that are decomposed naturally through microorganisms. Biodegradable plastics encompass a wide range of materials such that they are bio-based, biodegradable, or both. Biodegradable plastics differs from conventional non-biodegradable plastics in terms of raw materials, production technology, applications, and composting. The major applications of biodegradable plastics is in the Packaging, Agriculture, Gastronomy, Consumer Electronics and Automotive industries. Renewability and availability are the key factors that distinguish biodegradable plastics from conventional plastic.
