ABSTRACT
A possible solution to solve this problem could be to replace commodity synthetic polymers by biodegradable ones. However, it is necessary to take into account that any marketable plastic product must meet the performance requirements of its intended function, and most of the biodegradable polymers do not meet these functional requirements, that is, they do not have the performance speciŠcations required for a given application.4 Therefore, the development of biodegradable polymers with good performance, which after use would be susceptible to microbial and environmental degradation, using adequate solid waste management disposal practices, without any adverse environmental impact became a challenge.5
