Biopolymer Materials, an Alternative to Synthetic Polymer Materials
Journal Title: International Invention of Scientific Journal - Year 2018, Vol 2, Issue 8
Abstract
Reports have shown that the use of petroleum based polymers have numerous adverse impact on atmosphere. Most of the plastic waste ended up in the landfill creates pollution with the accumulation of chemicals, only 10% of plastics has been recycled. On the other hand, biopolymers converted into biomass with the help of living organisms which later use as manure in plants. Disposal of bio-waste in landfill creates environmental problems, due to the huge production of CO2 and NH3. Since the waste contains large amount of sugars, carbohydrates and cellulose in them, to utilize them in ecofriendly way for industrial use with the help of bacterial fermentation in a cost-effective way is the best approach. Biomass can be converted into biofuel, biogas and bio-oil in eco-friendly way with the help of mutagenesis technique. The use of bioplastics over conventional plastics limits due to its high cost but there are several other options to produce bioplastics from the biomass feedstock in cost effective way. The future market for biopolymers are significantly increasing due to its sustainability. The biotechnology of microorganism gives a new hope to bioplastic production could significantly influence the production to compete with current barriers. The motive of the review was discussed, and excellent results would have achieved which is a way to control marine pollution with the increasing use of biopolymers for the green economy.
