Polymeric biomolecules are produced by the living organism. Bio-polymers is made up of monomeric units that are covalently bonded to form larger structures. The polynucleotide is long polymeric chains of 13 nucleotide monomers. Polypeptides are short polymers of amino acids and polysaccharides are linear bonds. Few common biopolymers are rubber, suberin, melanin, and lignin. Cellulose is a native biopolymer in nature. Plants contain 33% of cellulose and cotton has 90% of cellulose content in it. Bioplastics are plastics derived from renewable biomass sources like wood chips, food waste, corn starch, fats, and oils. They are used in making of bottles and containers using microorganisms. Fossil fuel plastics are derived from petroleum and natural gas. Bioplastics are derived from sugar derivates including starch, cellulose and lactic acid. Bioplastics represent 0.2%of the global polymer market
