| book description |

Bioplastics are a promising and eco-friendly alternative to traditional petroleum-based plastics. These innovative materials are derived from renewable resources, such as plant starch, corn, or sugarcane, making them biodegradable and reducing the environmental impact associated with conventional plastics. This new book presents an informative overview of bioplastics and highlights new state-of-the-art sustainable bioplastic technology. The volume discusses the different kinds of bioplastics and their diverse uses, such as in creating sustainable food packaging; in medical applications, such as in body implants like bones, scaffolds, and breast implants; as well as in many industries—electronics, architecture and construction, automobile, consumer goods, cosmetics, etc. The design and methods of production are discussed, including novel technologies. The environmental industrial aspects of bioplastics as well as the commercial aspects of bioplastics are covered, evaluating the commercial and industrial value and demand for bioplastics.
