Plastics have become an integral part of our daily lives, serving a wide range of functions from consumer electronics to disposable cutlery. However, as the supply of fossil fuels, from which fossil-based plastics are derived, diminishes and becomes more expensive, the demand for alternative materials is growing. Policymakers, environmentalists, and consumers are putting increasing pressure on plastics manufacturers to explore greener alternatives to fossil-based plastics.
One such alternative is bioplastics, which are derived wholly or partially from biomass feedstocks, making them renewable and environmentally friendly. While not all bioplastics are readily degradable, many are more so than conventional plastics, a property that is increasingly desired by consumers.
The field of bioplastics is rapidly evolving, with numerous different types of bioplastics already developed. This book provides a comprehensive overview of the diverse subjects related to bioplastics, including materials science, manufacturing, and processing, as well as their social and environmental impacts. It serves as a valuable resource for both students studying plastics at a graduate level and professionals entering the field.
In conclusion, as the demand for sustainable and environmentally friendly materials continues to rise, bioplastics offer a promising solution to the challenges posed by conventional plastics. By leveraging the renewable properties of biomass feedstocks, bioplastics can help reduce our reliance on fossil fuels and mitigate the negative impacts of plastic waste on our environment. This book provides a comprehensive introduction to the field of bioplastics, making it an essential resource for anyone interested in this rapidly growing area.
