Biodegradable plastic

Introduction Since plastic first manufacture since 1960s’, plastic bags had become one of the main essential product in daily life until today. Plastic had become the benchmark for modern life as they provide durability, strength, flexibility light weight with low cost. They have been used in everywhere, from bags for groceries to bones holder for surgery. But plastic have become the most concern for environmentalist as having a long decompose life. Although recycle is an effective way to reduce

Last year the United States alone, used over 39 billion plastic bottles of water. That is enough to wrap around the earth over 190 times. Global warming is a growing problem because humans are eliminating trash improperly, car fumes are affecting the quality of air, and because of improper oil disposal in the oceans. The pollution levels have been increasing lately.Pollution is the dumping of waste or any harmful substance that can have a negative effect on the environment.Examples consist

figures show that plastics make up around 25% of the garbage that metro manila churns out, while an independent survey conducted by Eco waste Coalition and Greenpeace on the composition of discards on manila bay in 2006 found that 51% were plastic bags,19% sachets and junk food wrappers, 5% Styrofoam, 1% hard plastics,10% rubber, 13% biodegradable wastes (Cayetano, 2008;www.senatorpiacayetano.com/psc/pressreleasedetails.php?recordID=175) Biodegradable plastics are degradable plastics on which the degradation

using plastic bags due to them being waterproof and having handles making them easier to carry goods. Paper and plastic has always been a huge controversy in super markets through the preference of customers. Some customers prefer having the paper bags standing up straight in the trunks of their cars. Other customers prefer the plastic bags because of the handles making it easier to walk home and carry their goods. Although both preferences are fine, all customers know the dangers of the plastic bag

society because of excess of amount of waste plastic being used. Bioplastic decays much faster then regular plastic. There are many ways bioplastic can be produced and many scientists are researching specifically making it with natural products. Scientist figured out that high-leveled starch products are very effective when it comes to making of bioplastic. Bioplastic is a very fast developing technology that will help the reduce the amount of plastics in landfills and usage of fossil fuels. Many

Bio-plastics are made from two words bio + plastics. The plastics made from biomass material or dispose easily as soil or both properties called bio-plastics. Bio-Plastics are not a single class of polymers but rather a family of products, which vary considerably. A bio-plastic is a substance made from organic biomass sources unlike conventional plastics which are made from petroleum. Bio-plastics are made from a number of different processes. Some uses a microorganism to process base material, such

1 PRODUCING BIODEGRADABLE PLASTIC JUST GOT CHEAPER AND GREENER The topic of this report is that producing biodegradable plastic just got cheaper and greener. What this report is about and how it relates to the society, technology and the environment will be discussed. Biodegradable plastic is plastic that is capable to decompose through the action of living organisms. It is originally from renewable resources and made from natural materials such as corn starch. Biodegradable plastic is also an alternative

2016 Edible Alternatives To Single-Use Plastic In Food Industry Plastic pollution has reached the all-time high. According to recent research, there are already more than 5 trillion plastic pieces weighing over 250 000 tons afloat in the oceans (Eriksen et al., 2014). Sustainablecoastlines.org, a New Zealand Charity dedicated to cleaning up the island’s coastlines, estimates that 72.4% of all plastic pollution in the Pacific oceans consists of single use plastics, 22.5% of which is food wrappers, containers
