Bioplastics are the counterpart to the petroleum-based plastics made of biopolymers. They are biodegradable, made from renewable raw materials such as gelatin, starch, and other biopolymers. Although ...

“Reimagining Materials: Towards Sustainable Making with Bioplastics Across Art and Design” delves into the development of low-impact, biodegradable bioplastics through innovative formulations and ...

The paper highlights the lack of research into the environmental toxicity of bioplastics. The authors write that, for now at least, regulations on bioplastics need to be as tight as those for ...

According to researchers at Kaunas University of Technology (KTU), bioplastics will make little difference unless synthetic plastics are used responsibly. However, novel solutions are required to ...

Just trying to define bioplastics might make your head start to spin. Generally, materials are called bioplastics if they are partly or entirely made from plants. Some of these plastics can be ...

As more research on the impact of using so much plastic comes to light, consumers and manufacturers are left scrambling for an alternative to the ubiquitous material, and bioplastics have emerged ...
