Bioplastics are a class of plastics derived from renewable biological sources such as corn starch, sugarcane, cellulose, and vegetable fats, or plastics that are biodegradable and compostable. They are increasingly used as sustainable alternatives to conventional petroleum-based plastics. Bioplastics find applications across packaging, consumer goods, automotive, agriculture, textiles, and medical sectors. Growing environmental concerns, stringent regulations on single-use plastics, and rising consumer preference for sustainable materials are driving the growth of the global bioplastics market.
