Few of these bio-based polymers offer significantly improved technical specifications than their alternatives. Bio-based polymers come in various forms, including direct or “drop-in” replacements for their petrochemical counterparts with nearly identical properties or completely novel polymers that were previously unavailable, such as polylactide. Growing consumer knowledge of the environmental effect of polymers generated from petrochemical sources and a worldwide transition away from plastics with a lifespan of hundreds of years has resulted in greater interest in such hitherto unattainable sectors. Instead, they have been an appropriate candidate for biological applications. Due to poor mechanical strength and economic constraints, they have not yet seen the extensive application. Bio-based polymers are a class of polymers made by living organisms, a few of them known and commercialized yet.
