Environmental challenges related to the mismanagement of plastic waste became even more evident during the COVID-19 pandemic. The need for new solutions regarding the use of plastics came to the forefront again. Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA) have demonstrated their ability to replace conventional plastics, especially in packaging. Its biodegradability and biocompatibility makes this material a sustainable solution. The cost of PHA production and some weak physical properties compared to synthetic polymers remain as the main barriers to its implementation in the industry. The scientific community has been trying to solve these disadvantages associated with PHA. This review seeks to frame the role of PHA and bioplastics as substitutes for conventional plastics for a more sustainable future. It is focused on the bacterial production of PHA, highlighting the current limitations of the production process and, consequently, its implementation in the industry, as well as reviewing the alternatives to turn the production of bioplastics into a sustainable and circular economy.

“…One of the pronounced advantages of MMCs in PHBV production is the efficient utilization of complex substrates, such as organic fractions of municipal solid waste, wastewater, and agricultural residues [56][57][58]. Metabolic interaction between different microbes in the cultures facilitates the breakdown of complex molecules, thus expanding the range of feasible substrates for PHBV production.…”

“…DWW, on the other hand, has the potential to be a beneficial material for sectors such as food, medicines, and fuel health if appropriately processed using biotechnological processes. Biotechnological treatment solutions can help to minimise waste pollution in the environment, however further research on the optimal approach and cost effectiveness is still needed (Ahmad et al, 2019;Bhuyar et al, 2019;Gogoi et al, 2021a;Shen et al, 2022). According to Gogoi et al (2021b), biofertilizer derived from treated DWW has demonstrated the capacity to increase yield for a variety of crops including maize, aloe vera, mung bean, sorghum Sudan grass, and lemongrass.…”

The mushroom cultivation industry in Malaysia is one of the fastest growing agricultural sectors due to its high return value and low production cost. With the Malaysian government forecasting an RM300 million worth of mushroom exporting by 2020, demand for high-quality mushrooms would rise. Commercially grown mushrooms in Malaysia include Pleurotus ostreatus, Pleurotus djamor, Pleurotus eryngii, and Schizophyllum commune. The mushroom cultivating technique is critical to achieving large yields. More mushrooms can be harvested in less time by employing Effective Microbes (EM) as a yield performance booster. However, EM is not yet commercially accessible, despite the fact that numerous potential EM exist, including dominant bacteria from mushroom production, bacteria bioinoculant, and anti-listerial agent. Furthermore, the EM activator found inside the substrate represents another yet-to-be-commercialized yield performance booster. Several possible EM activators, including as dairy wastewater, rice husk biochar, and tea compost, can be transformed from industrial waste with a steady increase in industrial waste. This paper reviewed the potential of EM in the mushroom cultivation industry. Additionally, the potential EM activator and how it enhances the mushroom yield performance is as well summarized.
