Starch-based plastics are a sustainable alternative to traditional petroleum-based plastics, derived from renewable plant sources such as corn, potatoes, and tapioca. These biodegradable polymers are gaining recognition for their environmental benefits, including reduced carbon footprint, biodegradability, and the ability to decompose naturally in soil or composting environments. They are primarily used in packaging, agricultural films, and food applications, aligning with the growing demand for eco-friendly solutions in various industries.
