Abstract
The discarding of plastic has recently become an insistent and potentially dangerous environmental issue worldwide. Millions of animals have died as a result of inappropriate plastic disposal, which has also decreased soil fertility by depositing plastic garbage on land and in the ocean. The pollution caused by plastic trash has raised environmental concerns, which has accelerated the creation of eco-friendly products. One of the most cutting-edge eco-friendly materials with the benefit of a less carbon footprint is bioplastic. Biodegradable bioplastics that function similarly to traditional plastics, such as polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA), polylactic acid (PLA), and polyhydroxybutyrates (PHB), have the potential to lessen reliance on petroleum-based plastics, which may pose a risk to the environment. Features of bioplastics, including their manufacture, use, recycling, and most recent advancements, will be covered in this review. For a world free of pollution, every nation must urgently develop the use of bioplastics and their appropriate waste management.
