Question

Plastic used to preserve yogurts is replaced with a polymer called polylactic acid is an example of ____________.

• (A) Green chemistry
• (B) Waste management
• (C) Green revolution
• (D) None of above

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Explanation:
Plastic used to preserve yogurts is replaced with a polymer called polylactic acid is an example of green chemistry.Since usage of petroleum-based plastic is harmful to the environment, a polymer called polylactic acid, made using micro-organisms to convert cornstarch into a resin, is used to preserve yogurt. The resulting polymer is used to replace rigid petroleum-based plastic used in yogurt containers and water bottles and is environment-friendly. It is an application of green chemistry.Hence, the correct option is (A).
