Track-1:Biopolymers:

Biopolymers are natural sources produced by living organisms like Bacteria or other microorganisms which are extracted from the bioreactors and organically processed into plastics. A major difference between biopolymers and synthetic polymers can be found in their arrangement. All polymers are made of insistent units called monomers. But Biopolymers have a well-defined structure. Many biopolymers spontaneously fold into characteristic compact shapes Biopolymers are a type of plastics which is being manufactured from petrochemicals generated from sustainable feed stocks such as sugar, starch or cellulose.
