Description
Summary:Poly Ethylene Terephthalate [PET], Poly Ethylene [PE], Poly Styrene [PS], Poly Vinyl Chloride [PVC], Nylon, Poly-Propylene [PP], Poly Urethane [PUR] are different forms of plastics[5]. According to the European association, the term bioplastics represent the two different kind of plastic. Wheat, sweet potato, cornstarch, barley, rice, sorghum and cellulose derivatives are starch based plant sources for bioplastics production. First seaweeds are washed to remove impurities.
