Biodegradable Plastics:
2007-12-11 06:22:00 When seen from an environmental point of view, the dominance plastic has over our daily lives is frightening. Each time we use a plastic container we are adding to the plastic waste that dots the landscape. And you can forget about it getting absorbed in the soil.

This renders traditional plastic non-degradable and a veritable threat to the environment.The science of biotechnology has been consistently trying to change the make-up of plastic by researching processes that can produce plastic that is biodegradable. There has been some progress made in the search with the discovery of bioplastics or green plastics.There are certain natural polymers found in starch obtained from cereal plants, tuber...
