Abstract

Social problems in everyday life has created huge crises on the environment and the ecosystem. Including deforestation, pollution, increasing solid waste and global warming, as well as landfill and ocean waste, etc. A number of measures are being taken to curb the use of plastics and non-decomposable equipment’s. Literature reviews try to address such issues. In our project, information on the fabrication of biodegradable products and their alternative products has been presented through literature review. From this literature review biodegradable packaging products as well as various items made from them such as plates, bowls, cups, boxes, etc. Measures and alternative guidelines are provided in the literature review of the presented material to limit the harmful uses imposed on a number of perishable items i.e., disposable products. So that the use of materials like plastics will be restrained, increasing solid waste will be disposed of and biodegradable materials will be used more and more.
