Abstract:
The purpose of this experiment is to help one of the biggest issues concerning the environment, the massive production of plastics. The researchers will use environment-friendly materials which can be made into biodegradable plastics that will not harm the environment and will not add to pollution problems. This paper talks about the comparison between biodegradable plastics and non-biodegradable plastics. The researchers intend to produce a product which is more similar to plastic but can lessen the pollution in the environment.
Introduction:
Plastics are used because they are very useful, cheap, manageable and handy. Plastics have been the fastest growing basic material because they are versatile, light weight, energy saving, durable and recyclable. It has become a popular material used in a wide variety of ways. Plastics can last a long time but unfortunately, this same useful quality can make plastic a huge pollution problem. Its long life means it survives in the environment for long periods where it can do great harm. Non-biodegradable plastics are durable but they degrade very slowly; molecular bonds that make plastic so durable make it equally resistant to natural process of degradation. Plastic packaging provides excellent protection for the product, it is cheap to manufacture and seems to last forever. Lasting forever, however, is proving to be a major environmental problem. Plastics are also a huge problem in waste disposal and studies have been made to find a substitute material which can be used in making biodegradable plastics. Because plastic does not decompose, and requires high
