What are bio-plastics? What are bio-plastics? What are bio-plastics? 🚚 Bio-plastics are made from renewable resources, such as corn starch, sugar cane, and algae. They are biodegradable and can be recycled.🚚 They are made from plant-based materials, and are therefore considered to be more sustainable than conventional plastics. How are bio-plastics different from regular plastics? 💪 Plastic is made from petroleum, which is non-renewable and has a high carbon footprint.💪 Bio-plastics are made from renewable resources, but are not as durable as conventional plastics. History of bio-plastics 📗 In 1862, Alexander Parkes created Parkesine, the first man-made biobased plastic from cellulose. 📗 The first known bioplastic, polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB), was discovered in 1926 by a French researcher, Maurice Lemoigne, from his work with the bacterium Bacillus megaterium. Why are we talking about them? 💡 Bio-plastics offer the hope of replacing fossil-based plastics.💡 They are made from renewable resources, and can be used in a variety of applications, including packaging, food and drink containers, and building materials.💡 Bio-plastics are also more environmentally friendly than conventional plastics, as they do not contain harmful chemicals. Is there a business use-case for them? 💰 The global market for bio-plastics is expected to grow from $2.5 billion in 2018 to $6.5 billion by 2025, at a CAGR of 11.5% during the forecast period.💰 The industry is expected to reach $100 billion by 2025.💰 The industry is driven by the need to reduce the use of fossil fuels and the amount of waste that is produced. Bio-plastics and the environment Ecological impact of bio-plastics Advantages of bio-plastics 💚 Bio-plastics save fossil resources by using biomass which regenerates annually.💚 Production of bio-plastics has a lower carbon footprint, and provides the unique potential of carbon neutrality. Challenges of bio-plastics ⚠️ The production of bio-plastics has a significant impact on the environment. It requires large amounts of energy, water, and land.⚠️ The production of bio-plastics also has a significant impact on the environment by releasing greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. Disadvantages of bio-plastics 🚚 Unlike popular notions, bio-plastics are not biodegradable, and can take up to 1000 years to decompose.🚚 They are also not fully recyclable, and can only be recycled in limited quantities.🚚 They fool people into thinking that they are more ecological and encourage people to litter more.🚚 They also create competition for food sources, contributing to the global food crisis. Are bio-plastics healthy? ⚠️ Bio-plastics are not completely safe, and can be harmful to the environment and human health.⚠️ Some bio-plastics contain toxic chemicals, and can leach into the environment.⚠️ Some bio-plastics can also be harmful to human health, as they can contain bacteria, viruses, and other pathogens. Bio-plastics and the future of work What is the future of bio-plastics? Future of bio-plastics is bright According to François de Bie, Chairman of European Bioplastics, “The importance of a more than 200 percent growth rate within the next five years cannot be overstated.” Economic impact of bio-plastics The economic impact of bio-plastics is huge. According to Peter He, associate professor of chemical engineering at Auburn University, “Bioplastic is a key component to converting the conventional petroleum-based plastics industry from a wasteful linear economy into a sustainable circular economy.” Developments in bio-plastics Recent research has shown significant development in the production of bio-plastics with improved technology that can:💚 use both methane and carbon dioxide in biogas, maximizing value generation.💚 convert raw biogas without cleanup, eliminating biogas cleanup costs.💚 eliminate blowers and electricity cost associated with the conventional microalgae cultivation. Working in bio-plastics The bio-plastics industry is growing rapidly, and there is a huge demand for professionals with a background in biology, chemistry, and engineering. The following are some of the most common jobs in the bio-plastics industry:📌 Bio-plastics engineers📌 Bio-plastic product designers📌 Bio-plastic product manufacturer

NFTs v/s Regular Digital Art 🫵 Digital Art doesn't guarantee ownership. You can copy, and save a version by simply saving it on your device. You do not own the Mona Lisa if you take a picture of it, and that's the same for digital art.🫵 NFTs are an asset that come with ownership &amp; exclusive benefits such as the possibility to trade it, sell it, and use it as an investment.

Assessing the value of NFTs Rarity 💎 Like any art, the value of an NFT is directly proportional to its perceived scarcity. This includes first-of-its-kind artwork from a famous creator in the digital arts industry, or any NFT that seems "hard-to-get." Utility 💎 NFTs that have NFT have utility in a real application (game tokens, virtual lands, etc) are more valued. This value accrues over time, based on the success of the underlying project.💎 Examples include Euro 2020 NFT Tickets, Decentraland property, or collectible cards like Geralt of Rivia in The Witcher Universe Gwent Card Game. Social proof 💎 One of the deciding factors for assessing the value of an NFT is social proof through the artist's Twitter and Instagram, and seeing their acceptability and popularity with their audience. Ownership history 💎 Like the physical art world, NFT art owned by influential people, or big corporations are considered more valuable. A good way for increasing the value of an NFT is by working with with people or enterprises with strong brand value in issuing NFTs. Speculation 💎 Be it art, of other assets, speculation can always drive up the value of anything. In December 2017, speculation drove the value of CryptoKitty #18 from 9 ETH to 253 ETH in just three days.
