Analysis of the Possibilities for Reducing Environmental Pollution through the Use of Bioplastics

Abstract

Bioplastics are alternative raw materials for the production of plastic products without polluting the environment and a source of material that will be available after we abandon the production of petroleul. They can be produced from renewable sources such as such as vegetable fats and oils, corn starch, straw, woodchips, sawdust, recycled food waste, etc. These products are increasingly relevant after the European Union adopted Directive (EC) 2019/904 on reducing the environmental impact of certain plastic products.
