Summary

This review critically examines bioplastic production from microalgae, evaluating algal strains, cultivation conditions, and extraction methods, while noting that multiple health risks associated with conventional microplastics have increased the urgency of developing algae-based alternatives.

Around the world, plastic materials are being produced and consumed more as the global demand for plastic materials increases. Consequently, both marine and terrestrial life have been negatively affected by plastic waste pollution. Multiple health risks are associated with microplastics. The decomposition of plastics takes a long time, and therefore reusing plastics, burning them, chemically treating them, and burying them in landfills are not the best methods to reduce the polluting effects of
