Prospects of biopolymer technology as an alternative option for non-degradable plastics and sustainable management of plastic wastes

Verified

Ehsanul Kabir, Rajnish Kaur, Jechan Lee, Ki‐Hyun Kim et al.

Journal: Journal of Cleaner ProductionYear: 2020Citations: 359

As of yet, disposal platforms for synthetic polymers have not matured in an environmentally benign manner. Consequently, their wastes tend to remain as sources of pollution that chronically release hazardous substances. In a strategical sense, biopolymers synthesized from natural (plant/animal or mi...
