Abstract
Contamination by plastics due to their non-biodegradable and accumulative nature is one of the main issues concerning the environment today. In order to reduce this contamination, the use of biodegradable plastics is proposed as an environmentally friendly alternative. The aim of the project in question is to evaluate the production of a starch-based bioplastic in a blend with hemicellulo…
