In light of the global climate crisis and commitments toward net-zero carbon emissions, this Perspective evaluates the current status of developments in recycling methods and bioplastics to identify long-term sustainable alternatives. The recycling and product application of major medical plastics, including poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC), polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), and polystyrene (PS), are discussed, and their circular potential is evaluated. Researchers are actively investigating bioplastics to solve present concerns and curb the global increase in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from petroleum-based plastics. Current recycling methods for PE and PP can be scaled up, and bioversions of plastics, such as bio-PE and bio-PP, can be used as a long-term sustainable solutions to realize their circular potential. As an alternative to PVC and PS, materials with inefficient recycling methods, recent promising bioplastics such as polyurethane (PU) and poly(lactic acid) (PLA) have a competitive performance. Our Perspective recognizes the need for further research on issues such as integrated recycling processes and the possibility of commercializing bioplastics.

“…Biodegradable polymers, including starch-based bionanocomposites, are widely used as scaffolds for tissue engineering, drug delivery systems/drug carriers, wound dressing, surgical sutures, and implants due to their mechanical properties, biocompatibility, biodegradability, and also the generation of non-toxic, biodegradable products [ 103 , 104 , 105 ].…”

“…Biopolymers in the repair of healing tissues accelerate treatment processes and eliminate implant removal surgery. Furthermore, implant materials and their biodegradable products must be non-cytotoxic and biocompatible [ 105 ]. Incorporating bioactive beta-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP) nanoparticles (at 10%) into thermoplastic starch (TPS) drastically improved the mechanical properties and showed excellent biocompatibility with no cytotoxic effect for bone tissue engineering materials [ 105 ].…”

In recent years, the demand for environmental sustainability has caused a great interest in finding novel polymer materials from natural resources that are both biodegradable and eco-friendly. Natural biodegradable polymers can displace the usage of petroleum-based synthetic polymers due to their renewability, low toxicity, low costs, biocompatibility, and biodegradability. The development of novel starch-based bionanocomposites with improved properties has drawn specific attention recently in many applications, including food, agriculture, packaging, environmental remediation, textile, cosmetic, pharmaceutical, and biomedical fields. This paper discusses starch-based nanocomposites, mainly with nanocellulose, chitin nanoparticles, nanoclay, and carbon-based materials, and their applications in the agriculture, packaging, biomedical, and environment fields. This paper also focused on the lifecycle analysis and degradation of various starch-based nanocomposites.

“…Starch-based compounds are brittle, highly hydrophilic, poorly processable (Chen et al, 2018;González et al, 2020;Muller et al, 2017;Rhim et al, 2013;Zhong et al, 2019). Therefore, various strategies such as surface chemical modification and incorporation of the additives, including plasticizers, nanoparticles, and other polymers, have been investigated for improving the properties of packaging material prepared from starch (Ortega-Toro et al, 2017;Taherimehr et al, 2021). For instance, starch-based packaging materials reinforced with surface modified sodium bentonite nanoclay showed an increase in tensile strength and a decrease in water absorption compared to the material without nanoclay (Iamareerat et al, 2018;Wahyuningtiyas & Suryanto, 2018).…”

The ultimate goal of new food packaging technologies, in addition to maintaining the quality and safety of food for the consumer, is to consider environmental concerns and reduce its impacts. In this regard, one of the solutions is to use ecofriendly biopolymers instead of conventional petroleum-based polymers. However, the challenges of using biopolymers in the food packaging industry should be carefully evaluated, and techniques to eliminate or minimize their disadvantages should be investigated. Many studies have been conducted to improve the properties of biopolymer-based packaging materials to produce a favorable product for the food industry. This article reviews the structure of biopolymer-based materials and discusses the trends and challenges of using these materials in food packaging technologies with the focus on nanotechnology and based on recent studies.
