A phytopolymer is a type of polymer derived from plant materials, primarily composed of natural biopolymers such as cellulose, hemicellulose, lignin, and starch. These compounds are characterized by their structural roles in plants, providing strength and stability. Phytopolymers are gaining attention for their potential applications in biodegradable materials, packaging, and various industrial processes due to their renewable nature and environmental benefits. Their use can help reduce reliance on synthetic polymers, contributing to more sustainable practices.
