Thus, it is aimed to contribute to the industry by reducing waste and creating an alternative to petroleum-derived plastics.

This important project is expected to be an important milestone in the field of bioplastic production. The results of the research may shed light on the development of environmentally friendly and effective antimicrobial bioplastics.
