Abstract:

In the present world, plastic waste is great problem for the environment pollution. Conventional polymeric substances are not easily degraded because they are resistant against microbial attack; they accumulate in the environment and represent a significant source of environmental pollution. To end these problems, synthetic waste led to the development of new biopolymers that are biodegradable and biocompatible to the environment, to replace the conventional polymers. In last decade, many countries spend huge amounts on biopolymer research based on renewable resources because of wide range of applications in packaging, agriculture and medical feilds. Biodegradable natural polymers are mainly based on renewable resources (like starch, collagen, cellulose, etc.) and are produced naturally or synthesized from renewable resources. This paper is mainly, on the development of biopolymers and biocomposites based on renewable resources, their properties and the area of their application.
