  • The Yogi Adityanath government in Uttar Pradesh is establishing a bioplastic park in Kumbhi village, Gola Gokarnnath tehsil, Lakhimpur Kheri district, spread over 1000 hectares with an estimated cost of Rs 2000 crore.
  • Bioplastics are biodegradable materials made from renewable sources like sunflower, corn, and sugarbeets, containing natural polymers from agricultural crops or starch waste. 
  • They offer a sustainable alternative to petroleum-based plastics, which decompose slowly and contribute significantly to environmental pollution.
  • Bioplastics are increasingly used in agriculture, textiles, medicine, and packaging industries due to their biodegradable nature and potential to reduce environmental impact compared to conventional plastics.
