Biodegradable Polymers: Prospects of Their Large-Scale Application in Industry of Russia

https://doi.org/10.18412/1816-0395-2015-8-20-25

Abstract

The possibility of a wider use of bioplastics is discussed in connection with the appearing environmental situation and growing application rates of polymer materials. Scientific researches of most promising biodegradable polymers such as polylactide and poly-3-hydroxobutirate are presented and advantages and disadvantages of these polymers are mentioned. We can refer the method of their preparation from the renewable vegetable feedstock and ability to decompose to CO2 and water to their advantages, while the cost of these polymers and absence of legislative framework relative to biopolymers are disadvantageous. Nevertheless, biopolymers should be introduced more actively into industry of Russia in connection with constantly worsening environmental situation and limited oil reserves.
