Green biodegradation

Renewable feedstocks can also be used as the raw materials for the synthesis of green, biodegradable polymers. A pertinent example is polylactate, derived from lactic acid which is produced by fermentation (see earlier). Another recent example is the production of polycarbonates by reaction of C02 with (R)-limonene oxide in the presence of a zinc catalyst (Fig. 8.47) [221]. [Pg.379]

Sustainable biobased products are products with commercial viability and environmental acceptability, that are derived from renewable resources and that have recycling capabilities and triggered bio degradability [2]. By incorporating biofibers into biopolymer matrices, new truly "green" biodegradable ecocomposites are created. This class of materials is currently under development and being comprehensively studied and researched. [Pg.332]
