Abstract

Biopolymers, derived from renewable biological sources, have emerged as promising alternatives to traditional petroleum-based polymers, offering a sustainable solution to the environmental challenges posed by plastic pollution. This abstract provides an overview of the key aspects of biopolymers, encompassing their sources, properties, applications, and environmental impact. Biopolymers are polymers synthesized from natural sources such as plants, microorganisms, and animals. Unlike conventional polymers, which are often derived from fossil fuels, biopolymers are renewable and biodegradable, making them attractive candidates for addressing the ecological issues associated with plastic waste.
