Mode of Biodegradation
Conclusions
Conclusions
The bioplastic resins are highly biodegradable and compostable in loam soil. Moreover, the bioplastic resins are also oxo-degradable. The bioplastic resins are permeable and absorbent to chemical solutions but their qualities are not drastically and readily altered.
Conclusions
The natural algal polysaccharides namely agar, alginate and carrageenan are efficient and effective polymers to create good, environment-friendly, inexpensive and toxic-free bioplastic resins.
