Biopolymers are polymers that occur in nature. Carbohydrates and proteins, for example, are biopolymers. Many biopolymers are already being produced commercially on large scales, although they usually are not used for the production of plastics. Even if only a small percentage of the biopolymers already being produced were used in the production of plastics, it would significantly decrease our dependence on manufactured, non-renewable resources. The applications of biopolymers are vast but here at Novozymes we are mainly interested in the pharmaceutical and biomedical applications of biopolymers. Biopolymers are ideal excipients, building blocks, carrier and protective agents used to improve the performances of other biologically active molecules in a product. They can also be modified to serve a particular purpose which explains the multitude of potential applications.
