Biodegradation is the property of a material that can be completely converted into water, CO2, and biomass through the action of microorganisms such as fungi and bacteria. Biodegradable plastics have the ability to be degraded by microorganisms present in the environment by entering the microbial food chain. The environmental and socio-economic impact of plastics, government policies, standards and certifications, Physico-chemical properties, and analytical techniques are covered in this book. The book also highlights the future of bioplastics, with their development and commercialization.
