Bioplastic has been developed by National Organic Research Institute (NBRI) with the help of which organic material -

The glue
The leaves
root of tree
tree bark


The National Botanical Research Institute (NBRI), Lucknow has developed such a bioplastic from tree gum, which is completely eco-friendly. The most important thing is that the plastic made from synthetic polymer takes hundreds of years to perish, while the bioplastic has the ability to turn into compost in just 20 days.
After mixing in the soil, it increases its nutritional power. Also soluble in water.
It is completely safe for animals as well as the environment. The institute has applied for a patent for this bioplastic if the results were successful.
The industry from Bengaluru, Gujarat has shown tremendous interest in the institute's developed bioplastics. Technology will be transferred soon.
On burning the plastic, it turns completely into ash, which acts as a fertilizer for the crops.
