nd genetic engineering can take the lead in using novel techniques to make bioplastics from seaweeds which would make them as a viable alternative.
Current bioplastic methods
Current methods of producing bioplastic involve plants, animals and microbial sources, but the researchers noted they have limitations.
The different types of plant sources are starch based like wheat, corn starch, rice, sweet potato, barley, sorghum and cellulose derivatives which account for almost 80% of the market, w
