Polyesters based on 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid (2,5-FDCA) have attracted attention from both academia and industry as a new class of biobased polymers for the growing era of plastics. 2,5-FDCA-based polyesters are 100% renewable, and they are an alternative to petroleum-based or terephthalic acid (TPA)-based polyesters. Moreover, scientists and plastics experts have recognized bioplastics as an eco-friendly solution to developing cost-effective renewable plastics. The growth of the bioplastics market depends on a sustainable economy, population growth, and rapid changes in different polymers. Although a variety of auxiliaries have been practically used in recent years, the production of bioplastics from 2,5-FDCA monomers by oxidation of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) is a relatively innovative field of research. This review focuses on the properties and applications of 2,5-FDCA-based polyesters in the packaging and coating industries for producing biobased postconsumer products. The manufacturability, excellent (thermal, mechanical, and barrier) features, and applications in various fields of available 2,5-FDCAbased homo-and copolyesters are discussed. Biobased 2,5-FDCA pure homo-and copolyesters have recently progressed with exceptional properties for their counterparts petroleum-based polyesters. In particular, the mechanical performance of 2,5-FDCAbased pure homopolyesters such as poly(ethylene 2,5-furandicarboxylate) (PEF) and poly(propylene 2,5-furandicarboxylate) (PPF) has the highest tensile strength (σ b ) values of 84.07 ± 4.43 and 90 ± 6 MPa, respectively, compared with other homopolyesters. On the other hand, 2,5-FDCA-based neat copolyesters like poly(ethylene 2,5-thiophenedicarboxylate) (PETF) and poly(ethylene-co-1,4-cyclohexanedimethylene 2,5-furandicarboxylate) (PECF) had maximum tensile strength (σ b ) values of 97−98 and 59−75 MPa, respectively, compared to other copolyesters. In addition, we also compared and observed the highest Young's modulus (E) values of pure PEF (5248 ± 328 MPa) and pure PPF (2460 ± 280 MPa) homopolyesters and of neat PETF (3100−3300 MPa) and neat PECF (1740−2300 MPa) copolyesters. Furthermore, the elongation at break (ε b ) values of pure poly(decylene furandicarboxylate) (PDF) (986 ± 82%) and pure poly(butylene 2,5-furandicarboxylate) (PBF) (368 ± 43%) homopolyesters and neat poly(pentylene furandicarboxylate) (PPeF) (1050 ± 200%) and neat poly(1,4-butanediol 2,5-thiophenedicarboxylate) (PBTF) (900 ± 84%) copolyesters had the highest values compared to other pure homo-and copolyesters. Finally, the results of the barrier improvement factor (BIFp) study showed that neat PPeF copolyesters had the highest values of O 2 (227 BIFp) and CO 2 (979 BIFp) compared to other pure homo-and copolyesters.

“…Some consumer plastics, currently produced from petroleum or natural gas, are being produced from various biomass feedstocks. For example, producing biomass-derived terephthalic acid, a monomer precursor for polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and polybutylene adipate terephthalate (PBAT), has been attracting much research effort, but industrial scale processes are rare. − Companies such as Anellotech and Suntory have been able to produce PET from wood. , Braskem commercially produces high-density polyethylene (HDPE) from bioethanol. , Biobased versions of PET, polypropylene (PP), and HDPE have the same properties as PET, PP, and HDPE produced from petroleum and are not biodegradable. Also, many polyamides on the market are (partly) biobased.…”

Environmental concerns over waste plastics’ effect on the environment are leading to the creation of biodegradable plastics. Biodegradable plastics may serve as a promising approach to manage the issue of environmental accumulation of plastic waste in the ocean and soil. Biodegradable plastics are the type of polymers that can be degraded by microorganisms into small molecules (e.g., H2O, CO2, and CH4). However, there are misconceptions surrounding biodegradable plastics. For example, the term “biodegradable” on product labeling can be misconstrued by the public to imply that the product will degrade under any environmental conditions. Such misleading information leads to consumer encouragement of excessive consumption of certain goods and increased littering of products labeled as “biodegradable”. This review not only provides a comprehensive overview of the state-of-the-art biodegradable plastics but also clarifies the definitions and various terms associated with biodegradable plastics, including oxo-degradable plastics, enzyme-mediated plastics, and biodegradation agents. Analytical techniques and standard test methods to evaluate the biodegradability of polymeric materials in alignment with international standards are summarized. The review summarizes the properties and industrial applications of previously developed biodegradable plastics and then discusses how biomass-derived monomers can create new types of biodegradable polymers by utilizing their unique chemical properties from oxygen-containing functional groups. The terminology and methodologies covered in the paper provide a perspective on directions for the design of new biodegradable polymers that possess not only advanced performance for practical applications but also environmental benefits.

“…25–29 In addition to these methods that require prefunctionalization of aromatic substrates, aromatic carboxylic acids can also be prepared via direct carboxylation of aromatic compounds with CO 2 , such as base-mediated carboxylation, 30,31 Lewis acid-mediated carboxylation, 32,33 transition metal-catalyzed carboxylation, 34–38 and enzymatic carboxylation. 39,40 However, these methods suffer from drawbacks such as the need to use stoichiometric metallic reductants or harsh conditions. 25–40 Carboxylation with CO 2 using electrocatalysis is a promising alternative for synthesizing aryl carboxylic acids.…”
