Seaweed: a source of a new type of bioplastic

RajendranNarasimmalu
et al. determine the high biomass of seaweed, its ability to grow in a wide range of environments and its cultivation in the natural environment, and
as a potential
as an alternative to bioplastic products in the packaging industry.review of seaweed as an alternative to bioplastics, the researchers said that bioplastics produced by algae are more expensive than traditional methods, but are reported to be more resistant to microwave radiation, less fragile and more durable.In the Journal of Pharmaceutical Research,
Narasimmalu
et al. said, "Seaweed is known for extracting natural polysaccharies, which are widely used, especially in food technology, biotechnology, microbial technology and even medicine, but have not yet been used in the plastics industry." "" because they are renewable biomass resources, as well as polymers made of carbon-containing sugars, which can be used to create biodegradable, high-quality bioplastics. "" fermentation and genetic engineering can be the first to use new technologies to use algae to produce bioplastics as a practical option.current bioplastics methodscurrent methods of producing bioplastics include plant, animal, and microbial resources, but researchers have documented that they are limited.Different types of plant resources are based on starch, such as wheat, corn starch, rice, sweet potatoes, barley, sorghum, and cellulose-derived organisms, which account for nearly
80
% of the market
of the widely used thermoplastic starch.bioplastics products
special conditions
from bacteria are its culture, pollution, special devices and basic devices.development of seaweed-based bioplastics is still in the research stage, it is expected to make significant progress in the bioplastics industry, and in the future seaweed bioplastics can become a reality.Supply and demand are comparable

Rajendran Narasimmalule
, a professor at VIT
University in India, says seaweed is naturally available and easy to grow in large quantities.he records that
Toyota
is developing a car that replaces oil-based carbon fiber from the
body with seaweed bioplastics and could be on the market in2015." bioplastics will take time to reach demand levels, which will not be easy and will not be completed in the short term,
but
will take time to develop from experimental projects to mass production. "" people are willing to pay a little extra if the product can protect the environment. Theconcluded that bioplastics are in their early stages, but there is significant hope for the development of sustainable plastics for the future.the manufacture of bioplastics plays an important role in
economic conditions and
survival of seaweed-based products.the production route of this seaweed-based bioplastic is still under study, and the application of biotechnology and genetic engineering techniques has played a key role in the study of the feasibility and sustainability of seaweed-based bioplastics.
