Bioplastic an alternative to plastic in modern world: A systemized review

Introduction of plastic objects or plastic particles into the Earth's environment that adversely affect all life on the planet is refer as plastic pollution. Currently, plastic pollution is one of the biggest environmental concerns, and sustainable alternatives to traditional plastics are being explored. Using bioplastics, which are made from renewable resources and biodegradable, can reduce plastic pollution and promote environmental sustainability. This review article examines the role of bioplastics in today's society as alternative plastics. A variety of biodegradable polymers, including PLA, PHA, PBS, SB, CB and PUH, have been tested. Plastics made from bioplastics can be used in a wide range of industries, including packaging, biomedical devices, agriculture, and 3D printing. Despite tremendous advances, difficulties such as scalability, cost competitiveness, and end-of-life management remain, requiring additional research and innovation. For the development and implementation of bioplastic alternatives on a global scale, collaboration between academia, business, and governments is essential. Using bioplastics can reduce plastic pollution, greenhouse gas emissions, and promote a more sustainable future. This review summarizes a few important bioplastics, their properties, and their uses. In order to address the challenges of plastic pollution in the 21st century, it is important to switch to biodegradable and ecologically friendly materials.
