BioPlastics: The Past, The Science and The Future
What do seaweed wrappers, mushroom foam, and compostable forks have in common? They’re all part of a growing movement to rethink plastic—and the future of the materials we use every day.
In Bioplastics Unwrapped, discover the fascinating history of plastic, the science behind biodegradable alternatives, and the exciting innovations happening in labs, oceans, and backyards around the world. With clear explanations, real-world case studies, and reflection questions built into every chapter, this book helps young people understand both the promise and the problems of bioplastics—without hype or oversimplification.
You’ll explore:
- How traditional plastics changed the world (for better and worse)
- The truth about terms like “biodegradable” and “compostable”
- The science behind materials like PLA, PHA, algae-based films, and more
- Global solutions, grassroots action, and how systems shape success
- What you can do—without needing to be perfect
Whether you're a student, changemaker, or simply curious about the materials shaping our future, Bioplastics Unwrapped is the honest, hopeful roadmap you’ve been looking for.
