Solution
Bio-degradable polymer: The polymers derived from various renewable resources especially the materials,
which can be decomposed to simpler substance $\left(\mathrm{CH}_4\right.$, other inorganic compounds $\mathrm{CO}_2$, biomass, and water) under microbial enzymatic action.
An example of biodegradable polymer are poly $\beta$ hydroxybutyrate - Co- $\beta$-hydroxy variant (PHBV) it is formed by combining 3-hydroxybutanoic acid and 3-hydroxy pentatonic acid.
