Bioplastic refer to a type of compostable plastic derived from renewable biomass source, such as potato-starch vegetable oil, corn-starch, microbial, and pea starch, instead of fossil-fuel based plastics that are made from petroleum products. Bio-derived bulk plastics such as polyethylene (PE), polylactic acid (PLA) and others have renewable raw material base. Biodegradable plastics support biowaste collection and thereby increase waste stream efficiency.
