Environmental impact of bioplastic use: A review
mycolabadmin
Bioplastics are plastic-like materials made from renewable sources like corn, seaweed, and mushroom mycelium instead of petroleum. While they’re often promoted as environmentally friendly alternatives to conventional plastics, they have their own problems including methane emissions and using farmland needed for food production. However, research shows that despite these drawbacks, bioplastics generally cause less environmental harm than traditional petroleum-based plastics.
