Bioplastic materials are categorized as materials that are either biodegradable or compostable and obtained from both renewable and non-renewable sources, as well as materials which are non-biodegradable and derived from renewable resources. The examples of bioplastics include cellulose ester, polylactic acid (PLA), polyhydoxyalkonates (PHAs), starch derivatives, and special copolyesters such as PBAT and PBS. Polylactic acid (PLA) films are biodegradable films derived from renewable resources such as corn starch, cassava roots, and sugarcane. Furthermore, bio PLA films are widely applicable in agriculture and food packaging industries.
