Sustainable biopolymers for environmental friendly packaging materials

Petroleum based packaging materials creates a waste disposal problem due to the nature of their degradation (them being nonbiodegradable). Polylactic acid (PLA) is a thermoplastic polymer derived from renewable resources with suitable biodegradation rate and properties comparable to conventional...
