Bioplastics for a circular economy [PDF]
Nature Reviews Materials, 2022 Bioplastics - typically plastics manufactured from bio-based polymers - stand to contribute to more sustainable commercial plastic life cycles as part of a circular economy, in which virgin polymers are made from renewable or recycled raw materials. Carbon-neutral energy is used for production and products are reused or recycled at their end of life ...

The Heat Resistant Capabilities of Bioplastic Composites on Sago Hampas Starch-Al2O3
Jurnal Rekayasa Kimia & Lingkungan, 2023 Sago hampas are a waste with a high starch content. The starch from sago hampas can be used as a raw material for bioplastics. However, because bioplastics have a lower heat resistance than conventional plastics, additives are required to increase heat ...
