  • India's first Demonstration Facility for Biopolymers was inaugurated in Jejuri, Pune.
  • This facility focuses on developing technology for producing Polylactic Acid (PLA) bioplastic.
  • Biopolymers are made from biological sources such as fats, vegetable oils, and sugars.
  • They offer advantages over synthetic polymers, including biodegradability, allowing for easy decomposition by bacteria in soil.
  • They also promote the carbon neutrality since the CO2 released during their degradation can be reabsorbed by replacement crops.
