Bio-based Plastics

Bio-based plastics are materials produced from renewable biological resources like plants, algae, or microorganisms, rather than traditional fossil fuels. They can be used for packaging, bottles, and various products and are often biodegradable or compostable. These plastics help reduce reliance on non-renewable resources and can lower carbon emissions, making them a more environmentally friendly alternative to conventional plastics. However, their environmental benefits depend on sustainable sourcing and proper disposal. Overall, bio-based plastics are part of efforts to create more sustainable, eco-friendly materials for everyday use.
