Opis

This reference book compiles recent developments and perspectives on second and third-generation bioplastics. It discusses commercialized bioplastics like polylactic acid (PLA) and polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs).

This book provides a comprehensive overview of and state-of-art information on the production and application of second- and third-generation bioplastics, such as polylactic acid (PLA) and polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs). The uses of alternative raw materials are presented, and innovations applied in bioplastics production processes to reduce costs and decrease environmental impacts in a circular bioeconomy are discussed.
