Bioplastics

Bioplastic is a flexible plastic material made from chemical compounds combined by microorganisms, such as bacteria, or by genetically altered plants. Utilizations of bioplastics cover a wide range, ranging from rigid and flexible packaging materials, such as food and drink containers, eating utensils, and electronic devices, to car and aeroplane parts, link sheaths and housings, and so forth. Bioplastics will also be produced using methods that are essentially continuous with those used to create organic compound polymers, such as infusion decoration, expulsion, and thermoforming. Bio-plastic polymers are blended with their co-polymers or with totally other polymers to increase their stiffness.
