Bioplastics market is rapidly advancing, driven by regulatory mandates, technological breakthroughs, and strong brand commitments, positioning it as a resilient, scalable, and sustainable alternative ...

But most plant-derived bioplastics are made from starch, which has fewer bonds between its glucose building blocks than cellulose, meaning it is easier to break down into useful forms.

But some biopolymers, such as starch and lignin, are readily available as byproducts of other industrial processes and could serve as cheap bioplastic ingredients. Lignin’s natural strength could help ...

Finnish researchers have made a bioplastic from rice starch. The new transparent, biodegradable material has a high degree of mechanical strength and good thermal resistance. The bioplastic ...

The global starch-based bioplastics market size was valued at $424 million in 2016, and is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 3.7% from 2016 to 2023, to reach $561 million by 2023. Starch-based plastic ...

This starchy bioplastic could make soggy paper straws a thing of the past Date: March 6, 2023 Source: American Chemical Society Summary: In the fight against pollution, several regions in the U.S ...

Kumala and his school friend partner studied the emerging field of bioplastics, and took inspiration from new materials based on corn and soy starch. They devised their own recipe using cassava ...

As the war on plastic straws rages on, researchers in Korea have created a bioplastic alternative that is made out of potato starch and citric acid. In a paper paper published in ACS Omega, the ...
