“…Still, the production of bio-based plastics is limited to one percent of the worldwide plastic production [ 7 , 12 ] and their adoption comes with uncertainties, as acknowledged in the EC Communication “A European Strategy for Plastics in a Circular Economy” [ 13 ]. This is exemplified by the research focused on bioplastics sustainability and [ 8 , 14 , 15 , 16 , 17 , 18 , 19 , 20 , 21 , 22 , 23 , 24 , 25 ] biodegradability [ 26 , 27 , 28 , 29 , 30 ], as well as the attention of media to the subject. Excluding the ample literature on biomedical applications, academic research has been focusing on the synthesis of bio-based polymers [ 31 , 32 ], on the life cycle assessment (LCA) of the production and end-of-life (EOL) [ 20 , 24 , 33 , 34 ] of different bioplastics, and biodegradation under different conditions [ 10 , 14 , 35 ].…”
