Abstract
The growing environmental concerns related to plastic waste have driven the development of biodegradable products that offer a sustainable alternative to conventional plastics. Chemical engineering plays a vital role in the design, development, and production of biodegradable materials, ensuring that they meet the necessary performance standards while minimizing their environmental impact. This article explores the role of chemical engineers in creating biodegradable products, including the use of biopolymers, the development of green chemistry approaches, and the integration of industrial processes for large-scale production. The paper also discusses the challenges and opportunities in the field of biodegradable materials, as well as the future directions for innovation in sustainable product development.
