In the global pursuit of sustainability, bioplastics have gained significant attention as an eco-friendly alternative to traditional petroleum-based plastics.
Derived from renewable sources such as plant starches, cellulose, or microbial fermentation, bioplastics offer a promising solution to reduce dependence on fossil resources and minimize environmental impact.
As industries increasingly adopt bioplastics, ensuring their chemical composition aligns with performance expectations and regulatory standards becomes essential.
Elemental analysis, particularly CHN/O determination, plays a crucial role in assessing the quality and consistency of these materials. The elemental composition directly influences the physical and mechanical properties of bioplastics, impacting their biodegradability, durability, and overall suitability for specific applications.
