Biopolymers' Overview - Types, Synthesis, Properties, Innovations and Key Players

There are two main types of biopolymers: those that come from living organisms; and, those which need to be polymerized but come from renewable resources. Both types are used in the production of bioplastics. Biopolymers that are present in, or created by, living organisms include carbohydrates and proteins.These can be used in the production of plastic for commercial purposes. Examples include...
