abstract = {Biopolymers based on renewable resources and/or biodegradable are generating a growing interest in the plastics industry and 
society in general. The aim of this paper is to analyze the 
field of biopolymers, their current situation and recent advances and developments. 
Biopolymers will be analyzed by principal markets divided into three groups: polymers based on renewable resources (starch and 
cellulose), 
biodegradable  polymers  based  on  monomers  biobased  (vegetable  oils  and  lactic  acid)  and  biopolymers  synthesized  by  microorganisms 
poly(hydroxyalkanoates (PHA))},

industria de los plásticos sino en la sociedad en general. El objetivo de este trabajo es analizar el campo de los biopolímeros, su panorama actual y los últimos avances y desarrollos. Se analizaran biopolímeros importantes del mercado divididos en tres subgrupos: polímeros basados en recursos renovables (almidón y celulosa), polímeros biodegradables basados en monómeros bioderivados (aceites vegetales y ácido láctico) y biopolímeros sintetizados por microorganismos (polihidroxialcanoatos (PHA))},
