Bioplastic is described as a plastic made from renewable biological elements. Bioplastics made from renewable carbon resources contribute to our efforts to conserve scarce fossil resources as well as to protect from Petro-chemical derived plastic pollution. Carbon dioxide and water are the breakdown products of bioplastics. Bioplastics can be derived from many microorganisms, Starch, Cellulose, Protein, Organic, Aliphatic Polyesters etc. one of main bioplastic resource is- Polyhydroxybutyrate.
Polyhydroxybutyrate, are potent bioplastic raw materials, which can be produced using cyanobacteria or blue-green algae as a host. The benefit of employing cyanobacteria to manufacture Polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) over traditional fermentation methods is that it uses sugar or waste materials as feedstock. It is more sustainable because CO2 is the only carbon source and sunlight is the only source of energy utilized here. In 2021, researchers were able to get 36.1 percent of PHB dry cell weight generated in 7 days, which is close to 78 percent of PHB dry cell weight in heterotrophic microorganisms. The research shows that cyanobacterial PHB has a lot of promises in PHB production and by using different Agricultural Wastes as a low-cost substrate for it, like- Pre-treated orange, mango, banana, onion peels, and rice straw waste when employed as carbon sources, can lead the strain to collect up to 150-450 mg/L of PHB.
