The resin is durable enough for use in electronic devices and NEC expects the continuation of bioplastic research that could create plastics for use in a variety of electronic devices by 2014.

According to NEC, the new bioplastics on the air have the disadvantage of being less resistant to heat and water resistance as other bioplastics are made from plant cells and castor oil and so have It can be used to make electronics more durable and environmentally friendly than computers.

Bio-plastic has gained greater prominence as a substitute for traditional plastics from oil, which has contributed to global warming as well as environmental pollution.

However, pre-manufactured bioplastics are produced from food sources, raising concerns about future food shortages.

In August, Procter and Gamble (P & G) announced the production of environmentally friendly packaging made from plastic derived from sugarcane for the Pantene Pro V brand, CoverGirl. and Max Factor.
