Several alternatives to conventional plastics are being developed to reduce environmental impacts. These include:
Bioplastics derived from renewable sources like corn, sugarcane, or algae.
Bio-based plastics made from biomass but may not be biodegradable.
Compostable plastics designed to break down under specific conditions, such as high temperatures and humidity.
Plant-based materials like bamboo, hemp, or mushroom-based mycelium for packaging and construction.
