Abstract

AbstractBioplastics has gained attention as a sustainable alternative to traditional petroleum-based plastics. Microalgae have become one of the more promising and environmentally benign feedstocks to produce bioplastics. The goal of this in-depth review study is to address both the possibilities and the difficulties of manufacturing microalgae-based bioplastics. The review begins by discussing the negative impacts that commercial plastics have on the environment, pollution, and resource depletion. It then introduces the idea of bioplastics and discusses their importance in reducing the previously mentioned issues brought on by plastics. The article discusses the distinctive qualities of microalgae as a sustainable biomass source, noting their rapid development, high lipid content, and low need for both land and water. The various production processes and procedures used to create microalgae-based bioplastics are thoroughly explored. To determine whether the mechanical, thermal, and barrier qualities were appropriate for different applications, they were examined. Biodegradability and shelf life are factors in environmental impact assessments that highlight their potential to help mitigate the negative effects of plastics. Economic viability is a crucial factor that is examined through cost analyses and discussions of the prospects and incentives for market growth. To provide a glimpse into the future of microalgae-based bioplastics as a sustainable material option, current trends and innovations are emphasized. This review advances our knowledge of microalgae-based bioplastics in the race for a more sustainable plastics industry by offering a fair evaluation of their advantages, disadvantages, and uses.
