Nowadays, it is difficult to imagine everyday life without plastic materials. Their exceptional properties and versatility make them the right material for every kind of application, ranging from packaging to the automotive field, from the electronic sector to consumer goods. For these reasons, the production and use of plastic tends to grow exponentially from year to year. This has negative consequences for both the environment and human health. Plastics are produced from fossil fuels, which are considered non-renewable sources, since they take a long time to regenerate, extremely longer than the one employed for their extraction and utilization. It is for this reason that the development of bio-based materials has attracted a lot of attention in recent years.
