Biopolymers from Renewable Resources : Macromolecular Systems - Materials Approach (1998. XIX, 417 p. w. 118 figs. 23,5 cm)

Renewable resources which can be used for very different kind of purposes such as packaging material (e.g. yoghurt cups) or as fuel are in everybody's mind again. One reason, of course, is the possibility to "grow" these materials and therefore save our oil resources. The second is the biodegradability of these materials and thus the diminishing of our waste.
