Introduction

The demand for sustainable materials is increasing because plastic waste creates harmful impacts on both land and sea ecosystems. Biodegradable foams which naturally break down into their components provide an effective solution to decrease waste that ends up in landfills and oceans. The rigorous environmental regulations and policies which governments and organizations worldwide implement to curb plastic waste. Countries are imposing a ban on single-use plastics, and they are establishing requirements for biodegradable material usage. The industrial sector must develop new solutions because existing regulations require companies to find biodegradable foam alternatives. Furthermore, Research and development efforts produce biodegradable foams which demonstrate higher efficiency and lower production costs. The introduction of starch cellulose and Polylactic Acid (PLA) as new raw materials enhances biodegradable foam properties making the material suitable for different applications.
