Concept
Biodegradable Plastics
Biodegradable plastics
are designed to break down more quickly than
traditional plastics
through the action of microorganisms, reducing
environmental impact
. However, their decomposition often requires
specific conditions
, such as
industrial composting facilities
, which limits their
effectiveness in natural environments
.
Concept
Microorganisms
Microorganisms are diverse,
microscopic organisms
that play
essential roles in ecosystems
, health, and industry. They include bacteria, viruses, fungi, and protists, each with
unique characteristics and functions
, impacting everything from
nutrient cycling
to disease and biotechnology.
Concept
Sustainable Materials
Sustainable materials
are resources that are sourced, produced, and disposed of in ways that minimize their
negative impact on the environment
, enhance
social responsibility
, and ensure
economic viability
over their lifecycle. They play a crucial role in
reducing carbon footprints
, preserving ecosystems, and promoting a
circular economy
by emphasizing renewability, recyclability, and biodegradability.
Concept
Biopolymer
Biopolymers are
naturally occurring polymers
produced by
living organisms
, including proteins, nucleic acids, and polysaccharides, and are biodegradable and often biocompatible, making them ideal for various
applications in medicine
, packaging, and environmental sustainability. Their
structure and function
are determined by their
monomeric units
and the sequence in which these units are arranged, which can be tailored for specific uses through
biotechnological advancements
.
