Which is not a negative aspect of bioplastics:

• A. Made using fossil fuel
• B. Degradation in a sealed landfill is very slow.
• C. Degradation depends on conditions of heat, light, stress, air, etc
• D. Helps to clean the air.

Answer 1

The correct option is D Helps to clean the air.

One of the advantages related to the use of biodegradable plastics is the minimal emission of carbon in the air during the process of manufacturing bioplastics. As opposed to the normal manufacturing of plastics that create four tons of emissions, bioplastics only emit approximately .8 tons of carbon that add to the greenhouse effect and global warming.
