摘要

The bioplastics derived from vegetable waste are gaining attention as a preferable alternative to fossil-fuel-based polymers. Though the bioplastics derived from the agricultural sector are environmentally sustainable, their large-scale production has led to the overexploitation of natural resources and, at times, overproduction, resulting in waste/loss. Therefore, the potential utilization of vegetable waste from agricultural or residential sources, which poses disposal challenges, as a raw material has created unique options for bioplastic production. This unique concept offers economic advantages by converting waste into biopolymers and aligns well with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), significantly contributing to the achievement of the circular economy. This study evaluates the existing literature and analyses the potential benefits and challenges in producing bioplastics from vegetable waste. The primary objective of this review is to provide readers with two insights. First, it fosters knowledge on the benefits of transforming vegetable waste into biopolymers. Secondly, it highlights the current challenges that need to be addressed for the successful production and end-of-life processing of vegetable waste-based bioplastics.
