03 Aug 2023 --- Honduras’ economy contains a ready supply of materials for producing bioplastics from agro-food waste, according to new research by universities in Spain and Honduras. Study authors looked at the fabrication and characterization of bioplastics using three types of Honduran agro-waste: Taro, yucca and banana. The study authors say the findings show that agro-industrial waste in the country can provide a sustainable alternative to the overreliance on non-renewable resources and the lack of biodegradability in traditional plastics.
