Starch-based polymers are biodegradable materials derived from natural starch, which is primarily sourced from plants like corn, potatoes, and wheat. These polymers are created by modifying starch to enhance its properties, making it suitable for various applications, including packaging, disposable items, and agricultural films. Their biodegradability makes them an environmentally friendly alternative to traditional plastics. These polymers can be processed using techniques such as extrusion and injection molding, allowing for versatile product designs. Starch-based polymers are often blended with other materials to improve their strength and flexibility. As sustainability becomes increasingly important, the use of starch-based polymers is gaining popularity in various industries.
