Valorising Cassava Peel Waste Into Plasticized Polyhydroxyalkanoates Blended with Polycaprolactone with Controllable Thermal and Mechanical Properties.

Unlabelled: Approximately 99% of plastics produced worldwide were produced by the petrochemical industry in 2019 and it is predicted that plastic consumption may double between 2023 and 2050. The use of biodegradable bioplastics represents an alternative solution to petroleum-based plastics. However, the production cost of biopolymers hinders their real-world use.
