Abstract The review examines bioplastics as a potential substitute for traditional plastics in the context of natural polymers and their impact on the environment. Conventional plastics are made from petroleum oil, while bioplastics are made from renewable resources. Bioplastics provide eco-friendly alternatives to traditional plastics, contributing to the reduction of fossil fuel consumption and minimizing environmental harm through their ability to biodegrade. Although bioplastics are expanding as a type of polymer, they also have the potential to contribute to the release of greenhouse gases. Therefore, it is crucial to have a comprehensive discussion that covers both the advantages and disadvantages of bioplastics. Additionally, by establishing a market for sustainable farming practices and renewable feedstock crops, bioplastics can contribute to the growth of agricultural economies. Additionally, the paper emphasizes the significance of bioplastics in the circular economy, where plastics are incorporated into effective waste management strategies. The article highlights that although bioplastics and biodegradable plastics contribute to addressing plastic pollution, they are not the only solution.
