<p>The increasing environmental degradation caused by conventional petroleum-based plastics has heightened the global demand for sustainable alternatives. In Nigeria, the accumulation of plastic waste in the landfills and aquatic environment has severe impacts on living organisms. To address this issue, this study explores the potential of starch-based bioplastics derived from renewable agricultural resources such as cassava, maize, and yam. These sources present a promising solution due to their biodegradability, renewability, and potential for large-scale production. Nigeria as one of the world’s largest cassava producers has a significant potential to become a hub for starch-based bioplastic production and commercialization. This review explores the viability and feasibility of commercializing starch-based bioplastics, from environmental, economic, and industrial perspectives. The research also aims to investigate the opportunities and challenges associated with starch-based bioplastic production in Nigeria. By undergoing this review, the study contributes to the development of sustainable solutions for plastic waste management and promotes the country’s transition towards a greener economy.</p>
