Review on bio-based plastic for future applications

This paper reviews the future applications of bio-based plastics. Most plastics are made through petrochemical processes. In other words, they start out as the chemical byproducts of oil refining, which are turned into a variety of plastics through chemical processes that form long molecular c...
