Biodegradable plastic

known as plastic, is a material consisting of a wide range of synthetic and/or semi-synthetic organics that are malleable/ductile and can be molded into many solid objects. Plastics are typically made of organic polymers (chains of carbon or chains of carbon that have been bonded to other elements such as oxygen, nitrogen or sulfur) having high molecular masses, but often contain other substances. Usually being synthetic, and most commonly made from petrochemicals. Due to plastic having a relatively low cost, easily manufacturable, highly versatile, and it being impermeable to water, plastics are used in virtually everything with an expanding range of products, from cups to writing utensils.

Plastic, a type of material that contains any wide-ranging synthetic or semi-synthetic organic compounds that has unique properties like malleable and so can be moulded into solid objects which are suitable for the manufacture of industrial products. It brings convenience to us but at the same time, affects the health and life of human beings badly.

When we here the word “recycle,” we think of soda cans, water bottles, and plastic material, but…

Bisphenol A, is a commercial chemical often used in the making of polycarbonates and epoxy resin. Polycarbonates are often used in the making of plastic food and beverage containers, such. Epoxy resin is often used in the lining of food cans and the tops of bottles. This is dangerous because it poses a threat to human health. Bisphenol A also known as BPA can seep through the plastic container and into the food or beverage itself. Exposure to BPA can have a negative impact on the…
