- 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.
