Biodegradable plastics are plastics that can be decomposed by the action of living organisms usually microbes into water carbon dioxide and biomass. They are derived from renewable raw materials like starch for example corn potato sugar cane and so on cellulose soy protein lactic corrosive and so forth the bio plastics are not hazardous to produce and are intended to break down into carbon dioxide water biomass soil when.
