Biopolymers, also known as natural polymers, are polymers produced by living organisms. They include polysaccharides such as cellulose and starch, and proteins such as silk and wool. Biopolymers have a wide range of applications ranging from pharmaceuticals to packaging. For packaging applications, biopolymers provide an eco-friendly alternative to petroleum-based plastics as they are biodegradable and compostable. Increasing environmental concerns about plastic pollution have boosted the ... Read more

Biopolymers are materials that are obtained from renewable resources. They include natural polymers like starch, cellulose, and proteins. Biopolymers are environment-friendly as they are produced from renewable biological sources such as corn, potatoes, sugar beets among others. They act as sustainable alternatives to fossil fuel-based plastics. Biopolymers are compostable and biodegradable. They find applications in packaging, textiles, electronics, agriculture, medical, consumer goods and ... Read more
