...In addition, the adverse environmental impacts including carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions and their long-period accumulation in the environment due to their nonbiodegradability are the significant drawbacks of using the nonbiodegradable plastics (Tokiwa et al., 2009; Pathak et al., 2014; Jain and Tiwari, 2015)....

...Actually, the word bioplastic can refer either to bio-based plastics synthesized from biomass and renewable resources such as Poly(lactic acid) (PLA) and Polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) or plastics produced from fossil fuel including aliphatic plastics like Polybutylene succinate (PBS), which can also be utilized as a substrate by microorganisms (Table 1) (Tokiwa et al., 2009; Mekonnen et al., 2013)....
