Environmental performance of bioplastics: degradation pathways, chemical leaching, and life-cycle implications

We outline priorities, improving end-of-life infrastructure, recyclable design, and harmonized, global assessments, to transition bioplastics from aspirational substitutes to demonstrably sustainable material

Bioplastics promise lower-carbon alternatives to conventional plastics, yet their environmental performance remains contested. This review synthesizes evidence across three pillars:…
