-Adhesives - 23Biodegradable Plastics: PLA-Transparent
-Similar to polyethylene and polypropylene
Eg. Medical equipment and packaging - 24Biodegradable Plastics: Biopol-Harvested from bacteria grown in cultures
-Most popular type is PHB and is used in packaging due to its similarities to polypropylene
Eg. Used in medicine implants because of its ability to dissolve over time - 25Biodegradable Plastics: Oxo degradableThese polymers have additives that promote short degradation times, this helps the polymer break down into a fine powder that is more readily digestible
- 26Biodegradable Plastics: PhotodegradableThese polymers break down when exposed to light
- 27Biodegradable Plastics: Water solubleEg. Products such as liquid detergents in pouches that dissolve when in contact with water
