Development and characterization of natural sourced bioplastic synthesized from tamarind seeds, berry seeds and licorice root

Applied Surface Science Advances, 2022
The use of fossil fuel-based plastics is harmful for our natural environment. Moreover, these plastics are single used plastics, difficult to recycle and non-biodegradable. These are polluting our environment and affecting marine organisms.
