An Overview of Bioplastics
Abstract: Bioplastics are plastics in which all carbon is derived from renewable feedstocks. They could possibly be biodegradable. Bio based plastics contain both renewable and fossil-fuel-based carbon. The rate of bio based fixings and the conditions, under which the bio based item may biodegrade, if by any means, differ broadly.

The effect of wheat straw leachate on growth of oyster mushroom (Pleurotus ostreatus) spawn
Abstract: Wheat straw (Triticum aestivum – Duzi) is known for its growth inhibitor in both field and in vitro experiments. The roots of lettuce and wheat seedlings were particularly inhibited when incubated with leachate of wheat straw. In South Africa, mushroom industry is the only industry that directly converts straw into a protein source for human consumption. Therefore, the objectives of the study was to assess the potential growth inhibition of …
