Abstract

The current scenario of every polymer processing industry is focussed towards use of high strength material at a low cost. After discarding of polymer component, it creates problem for environment due to its non-biodegradability. It takes several years to degradation and reduces fertility of soil. So researchers focussed toward maximum utilization of biodegradable polymer for sustainable development. The biodegradable polymers have capability to replace non-biodegradable polymers. This chapter includes various fabrication techniques to process biodegradable polymers.
