Biodegradable polymers

Biodegradable polymers

Biodegradable polymers are a type of polymer that can be broken down naturally by microorganisms and environmental factors such as sunlight, heat, and moisture. They are becoming increasingly popular due to their potential to reduce environmental pollution caused by traditional non-biodegradable polymers.

Some of the applications of biodegradable polymers include:

Packaging: Biodegradable polymers are used in the production of packaging materials such as bags, containers, and films. They can be made from renewable sources such as starch, cellulose, and proteins.

Medical implants: Biodegradable polymers are used in the production of medical implants such as sutures, drug delivery systems, and tissue engineering scaffolds. They offer the advantage of being broken down by the body, reducing the need for additional surgery to remove the implant.

Agriculture: Biodegradable polymers are used in agricultural applications such as mulch films, seed coatings, and soil stabilizers. They can help reduce the use of non-biodegradable plastics in agriculture and improve soil health by increasing water retention and reducing erosion.
