Bioplastic Reflection

Bioplastic is developed from sugar that comes from corn, sugar cane and sugar beads. These plastics are green because they come from sugar not crude oil like normal plastics. Issues with this green plastics are that they evolve using pesticides to grow the corn we use for the bio plastics. We need gas which pollutes the air to transport the corn from the fields to the factories.The factories that make bioplastics need electricity to work which is usually produced from oil and gas. With green plastic we might start using less plastic inn packages and they would be more environmentally friendly.
