5 Researchers at the Gyres Institute reviewed how bioplastic products, especially bottles, straws and bags, when thrown into the ocean or left on the black. Surprisingly, many of these products have not been solved in nature even after a year. It was determined that even after 64 weeks, 78 percent of bioplastic items remain in all.

It brings environmental problems]
Bioplastic industry is growing rapidly worldwide but this growth brings environmental problems along with. Despite being an industry of $11.6 billion with an increase of about 19 percent per year, bioplastics thought the failure to resolve in nature. [

Bioplastic and oil plastic brothers
Bioplastics are produced from natural ingredients such as corn, but they have almost the same chemical structure with normal plastics made from petroleum products as a result of chemical adjustments. So, these materials that look like nature-friendly actually copy environmental threats. Knowing that bioplastic solution is an illusion, it emphasizes that we need to turn to more sustainable options. Among the steps to strengthen recycling systems, to gain informed consumption habits and reduce the use of plastic, to take our environment in the way to protect.

Really need sustainable solutions
The facts about the environmental impact of bioplastics require not only consumers, but also responsible for the industry. In the fight against plastic crisis, we have to work together to really turn to sustainable solutions and minimize environmental impacts.
