“…18–22 However, the bioplastic market is only a small fraction of the global plastics market, and there is a need for further development in this field. In addition to performance, one key requisite in making any sort of plastic is its cost, meaning that the raw biomass (as for bioplastics) should be affordable, and if possible, should be obtained from waste/byproducts 23 as we do not strive to induce a depletion in biomass.…”

“…The parameters of the properties of bioplastics include physicochemical, mechanical, biological and thermal stability. Physicochemical and biological properties are related to the composition, structure, morphology and microbiological activity of bioplastics, thermal properties are mainly related to the characterization of thermal degradation stages while mechanical properties are related to the stiffness and tensile strenght of bioplastics [26].…”

Plastics, commonly encountered in forms such as packaging, household items, office supplies, electronics, and more, are typically conventional plastics derived from petroleum synthesis. The environmental issues posed by conventional plastics, which do not naturally degrade, necessitate a solution. An effective approach to address this challenge involves substituting conventional plastics, synthesized from petroleum, with biodegradable plastics made from natural materials. This article employs a literature review methodology, exploring research journals that cover a spectrum of bioplastics topics, including definitions, applications, advantages, natural ingredients, and final bioplastic products. Bioplastics, crafted from natural materials, possess the ability to decompose through microbial action, rendering them more environmentally friendly. Utilizing agricultural and fishery waste as sources of natural materials, such as cassava peels, fruit seeds, seaweed, fish scales, starch and cellulose content for bioplastic production. Bioplastic applications extend across various sectors, encompassing packaging, catering, electronics, automotive, agriculture, horticulture, toys, textiles, and more.

“…Currently, studies focus on assessing the technical performance of bioplastics production [16]. They look into the composition and structure of food-based substrates [17], valorisation techniques [10], characterisation of bioplastics properties [18] and parameters and conditions that can affect the production yield [11,19,20]. Some studies have gone a step beyond to either complete preliminary environmental [21][22][23], economic [24,25] or techno-economic [26] assessment of bioplastics produced by specific food waste substrates, but not looking at all aspects in a holistic, integrated manner.…”

Systematic Evidence Mapping to Assess the Sustainability of Bioplastics Derived from Food Waste: Do We Know Enough?

The production of bioplastics from food loss and waste (FLW), termed FLW-derived bioplastics, is considered an attractive alternative to first-generation bioplastics. To our knowledge, a clear understanding of the sustainability performance of FLW-derived bioplastics from environmental, economic, technical, and social aspects is still lacking. This systematic evidence mapping aims to fill this gap by undertaking a reality check on the life cycle sustainability performance of FLW-derived bioplastics from a multidimensional perspective underpinned by systems thinking approach to assess their potential to revolutionise the plastics economy. Results revealed that FLW-derived bioplastic production is highly complex and uncertain. The low technological readiness of FLW valorisation processes and the under-researched logistics of FLW management on a regional scale currently withhold advancement in this field. Nonetheless, progress is looming, and ensuring that FLW-derived bioplastics production enables the transition toward a sustainable bioeconomy is critical. Innovation in both the food and plastics value chains is urgently needed to address their challenges and mitigate pollution. Yet, any steps forward need to be holistically calculated to yield sustainability benefits and prevent unintended consequences.
