Summary

Researchers reviewed bioplastic production methods as alternatives to petroleum-based plastics, evaluating their environmental benefits in reducing landfill accumulation and microplastic contamination, while also identifying technical and scalability challenges that must be addressed for widespread adoption.

Plastic pollution has emerged as a significant global environmental concern. Traditional plastics derived from petroleum resources contribute to landfill accumulation and microplastic contamination, posing threats to wildlife, ecosystems, and human health....
