Plant-based plastics are materials made from renewable resources, such as corn, sugarcane, or potatoes. Unlike traditional plastics, which are derived from fossil fuels, these bioplastics can reduce environmental impact by utilizing sustainable sources. They can be biodegradable or compostable, breaking down more easily in natural environments. These plastics are used in various applications, including packaging, utensils, and even textiles. Companies are increasingly adopting plant-based plastics to meet consumer demand for eco-friendly products. However, challenges remain, such as production costs and the need for proper disposal methods to ensure they decompose effectively.
