“…Alginate, a polysaccharide obtained from the cell walls of brown seaweeds, has been recognized as an essential bioresource due to its unique properties, such as biocompatibility, nontoxicity, and biodegradability [46,111]. Due to their biodegradability and potential to address environmental concerns associated with conventional plastics, alginate-based bioplastics derived from brown seaweed have garnered increased attention [112,113]. The optimal conditions for alginate extraction from Sargassum sp.…”

“…The optimal conditions for alginate extraction from Sargassum sp. seaweed in Malaysia were 3 % Na 2 CO 3 , 95 °C temperature, and a 3-h extraction time, yielding 20.85 % alginate [112]. This extracted alginate produced bioplastics with varying concentrations of inverted sugar (IS) as a sustainable plasticizer.…”

The growing potential of sustainable materials such as polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs), polylactic acid (PLA), alginate, carrageenan, and ulvan for bioplastics production presents an opportunity to promote a sustainable circular economy. This review investigates their properties, applications, and challenges. Bioplastics derived from algae offer an environmentally friendly alternative to petroleum‐based plastics, a shift of paramount importance to society due to the escalating environmental concerns associated with traditional plastics. The role of the internet‐of‐things (IoT) and machine learning in refining these bioplastics' production and development processes is emphasized. IoT monitors cultivation conditions, data collection, and process control for more sustainable production. Machine learning can enhance algae cultivation, increasing the supply of raw materials for algal bioplastics and improving their efficiency and output. The study results indicate the promise of algae‐based bioplastics, IoT, and machine learning in fostering a more environmentally sustainable future. By harnessing these advanced technologies, optimization of bioplastic production is possible, potentially revolutionizing the materials industry and addressing existing challenges toward achieving a sustainable circular economy.

“…There are various films or composites from various starch sources: corn (Ghanbarzadeh et al, 2010;Zhang et al, 2007;Kaushika et al, 2010); bananas (Zamudio-Flores et al 2009); banana peel (Sultan & Johari, 2017); cassava (Ortiz et al, 2010;Mantovan et al, 2018); potato (Wu et al 2009); potato peel waste (Arikan & Bilgen, 2019); mango (Agustiniano-Osornio et al 2005); wheat (Galdeano et al, 2009); peas (Zhang and Han 2008;Ma et al 2009); rice (Bourtoom & Chinnan, 2008;Marichelvam et al, 2019); sweet potato (Shen et al 2010); tamarind & berry seed (Chowdhury et al, 2022), and wheat (Chivrac et al 2008;Wan et al 2009). There also studies reported using microalgae and green algae from brown seaweed as bioplastic material (Hempel et al, 2011;Cinar et al, 2020;Kanagesan et al, 2022). Despite all the diversity, most uses of starch sources are based on corn and/or cassava due to their availability.…”

Plastic waste continues to increase every year along with the increasing number of industries and population. Accumulated plastic waste has a negative impact and harm the environmental. The initiative of 3R (reduce, reuse, and recycle) has been widely promoted, but it is not optimally implemented. The use of organic materials to substitute the synthetic materials in plastic become alternative to prevent this problem continues in the future. Bioplastics are naturally decomposed by the soil and made from renewable materials. This review aims to explore the potency of cassava peels (Manihot esculenta) and seaweed carrageenan (Eucheuma cottonii) as the bioplastic material. The method used is an effective literature review and in accordance with the topic being discussed. The discussion method is carried out based on research results that have been found by previous researchers, which are then integrated with other researchers to get strong results and conclusions. Cassava peel waste and seaweed carrageenan have the potency to be made into bioplastics because they contain polysaccharide that can form a thin layer films based on gelatinization. The development of cassava peel waste and seaweed carrageenan will becoming the promising materials as substitutions for synthetic plastic, and also could help prevent the negative impact of plastic waste. Furthermore, since the cassava and seaweed are naturally abundant, it will promoting the environmental sustainability.
