Biodegradable plastic is a type of material designed to break down naturally through the action of microorganisms, enzymes, and environmental conditions such as moisture and heat. Unlike conventional plastics, which persist in the environment for centuries, biodegradable plastics decompose into water, carbon dioxide, and biomass, reducing pollution and supporting sustainability. They are often produced from renewable resources like corn starch, sugarcane, or other plant-based feedstocks, making them an eco-friendly alternative for packaging, agriculture, and consumer products.

Setting up a biodegradable plastic production plant involves selecting suitable raw materials, establishing efficient polymerization and processing systems, and ensuring compliance with environmental standards. Investors must consider plant capacity, machinery, utilities, labor, and infrastructure requirements, along with market demand and regulatory frameworks. Careful planning in cost analysis, supply chain management, and quality control ensures sustainable operations and profitability.
