Positive Impact of Bioplastics
A. Consumes less energy: They save energy in manufacturing. It doesn’t require fossil fuels to be recycled, and its manufacturing process takes less amount of energy.
B. Lesser Pollution: Frankly speaking, one of the positive impacts of using bioplastics is lesser pollution in the ecosystem. They produce Biodegradable waste, which helps in making the environment contamination free. They are produced from Renewable Resources.
C. Carbon Emission Reduction: During the Manufacturing process of bioplastics, carbon in the air that is emitted is next to not contrary to the manufacturing of normal regular plastics, which almost emits four tons of carbon in the air contaminating the environment.
Bioplastics have earned a lot of demand because they are free of bisphenol A (BPA) or other additives that are harmful to health.
Bioplastics: Application And Impact On Environment
Bioplastics are the kind of plastics that requires the use of renewable or organic resources such as vegetable oils and starches for their manufacturing. By 2025, petroleum used in the manufacturing of Bioplastics is expected to decrease by 15-20%.
Bioplastics can be made from renewable resources (Biobased), or they can break down naturally (Biodegradable), or maybe both. Carbon Dioxide produced by almost all the bioplastics is less than the usual plastics. They are not always wholly green. While biodegrading, some bioplastics can also produce carbon dioxide or monoxide. Under the right circumstances, some biodegradable plastics can take 180 days to break down.
