Biodegradable corn starch is a natural polymer derived from corn. It is used to create eco-friendly products that break down more easily in the environment compared to traditional plastics. This material is often used in packaging, disposable utensils, and other single-use items. When exposed to moisture and microorganisms, biodegradable corn starch can decompose within a few months to a few years. This process reduces waste in landfills and minimizes pollution, making it a sustainable alternative to petroleum-based plastics. Its use supports efforts to create a more environmentally friendly future.
