Comparative study of Bio-Degradable polymer and Non-Biodegradable polymer

Biodegradable polymer (BP) are accepted in modern time due to eco-friendly nature of it in comparison to non-biodegradable polymer (NBP). The great advantage of biodegradable polymer is the conservation of fossil reserve and reduction in Oxides of Carbon, Sulphur and Nitrogen & Hydrocarbon emission. Which are gaseous air pollutant. Use of biodegradable is part of green chemistry. Synthetic NBP are mostly fossilfuel derivative, current global consumption is more than 250 million tones, consume 5% crude oil. There are less problems related to disposal of BP as compared to conventional NBP. Making and recovery of BP have the additional advantage of using renewable resources. Growing environmental need has imposed a shift from biostable Material (NBP) to biodegradable one (BP). The purpose of this paper is to overview issues related to Biodegradable polymer & NBP and decomposition of Biodegradable polymer.
