Abstract
At present, with an increase in the human population, the amount of plastic
consumption has multiplied, and with it, pollution levels are alarmingly increasing day
by day. Plastic can be labelled a disaster as it threatens the whole world. Since this is a
big problem for our environment, there may be a call to find a change for traditional
plastics. Therefore, bioplastics are the perfect option as they can be synthesized from
various active biodegradable wastes. Bioplastics are formed from various renewable
biomasses, including starch, biopolymers, cellulose, and aggregates of various
compounds. These plastics can be easily synthesized and can be easily degraded
compared to conventional plastics. So, the synthesis of it becomes a crucial challenge.
