Estimated Reading Time: < 1 min

Plant-based plastic, also known as bioplastic or bio-based plastic, offers a promising alternative to traditional plastics in Australia. It’s a type of plastic derived from renewable organic materials like corn starch, sugarcane, or cellulose, instead of relying on fossil fuels. The common plant-based plastics include PLA(polylactic acid) and PHA(polyhydroxyalkanoate).
