With polymers synthesized by polycondensation of two monomers, one monomer can be bio‐based while the other is derived from fossil‐fuel feedstock, leading to a hybrid or a partially bio‐based plastic. This is the case with hybrid poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) resin that is popularly used in “green” beverage bottles in the market, that are only about 22% bio‐based; the ethylene glycol monomer is bio‐based while terephthalic acid is derived from fossil fuel (Figure 1.8).
There is confusion in the literature as to how the environmental biodegradability of plastics might relate to the above categorization. The biodegradability of plastics in a biotic environment is determined by their chemical structure; the polymer molecule must have main‐chain bonds that are hydrolyzable by enzymes secreted by the microorganisms in the relevant environment. There is no relationship between the source of feedstock and the biodegradability of the resin, as seen from Table 1.3 and Figure 1.9. Biopolymers such as cellulose or chitin have been in the environment for a very long time allowing biochemical pathways that degrade these to evolve and therefore they tend to be biodegradable. This is not the case with synthetic man‐nade plastics that have existed in the environment only since the beginning of the anthropocene. Some authors (Brizga et al. 2020) confusingly include blends of a synthetic polymer with a degradable additive such as starch under “biodegradable” plastics. In these materials such as blends of starch/PE, the polymer component does not biodegrade appreciably.
