Green Polymers and Biodegradable Plastics
Abstract
The spiked environmental concerns associated with conventional plastics have rushed the evolution and adoption of eco-friendly substitutes like green polymers and biodegradable plastics. These materials arise from green energy resources such as plants, animals, and microbes, offering a viable option to minimize plastic pollution and carbon footprints. This chapter delves into the classification, properties, synthesis, and applications of green polymers and biodegradable plastics, emphasizing their benefits over traditional plastics. It also addresses challenges such as high production costs, mechanical properties, and degradation under different environmental conditions. Emphasis is placed on innovative technologies and future trends that aim at improving the efficiency, production, and scalability of these biopolymers. This chapter delivers a thorough exploration of the crucial role of green polymers and biodegradable plastics in promoting a sustainable environment and advancing a more inclusive circular economy.
