| Abstract | ||
| Petroleum-based polymers have been used for many years in various products and applications. The main disadvantage of these polymers, though, is their detrimental effects on the environment. When these plastics are not properly disposed of, they eventually affect people. The increasing demand for plastics worldwide and the ensuing ecological damage need the development of an efficient, ecologically acceptable alternative, such as bioplastics or biodegradable polymers. Utilizing biodegradable materials derived from natural polysaccharides, especially starch helps in lowering the use of non-biodegradable resources. In this paper, we provide a literature survey on food packaging, bioplastics and its classification, and the application of starch and its modification methods. Herein, in this study, we focused on the environmentally friendly production of bioplastic samples derived from corn starch which can be utilized as food packaging | ||
