The Decadal Trends in Biopolymer Production and Utilization: A Comprehensive Review
DOI:
https://doi.org/10.30544/MMD37Abstract
This article provides a comprehensive review of recent advancements in biopolymer technology, focusing on their environmental and economic impact across various industries. Key biopolymers discussed include cellulose, lignin, starch, algal polysaccharides, and protein-based polymers such as whey and casein, alongside essential biopolymers like chitin, chitosan, pectin, guar gum, xanthan gum, natural polyesters, and polyamides. These biopolymers have experienced rising demand due to their renewable nature and biodegradability, supporting the shift toward sustainable materials in sectors such as food technology, biomedical applications, and eco-friendly packaging.
By synthesizing insights from industry reports, market trends, and scientific studies, the review highlights the growth trajectory, environmental benefits, and economic viability of biopolymers. The analysis emphasizes how these materials contribute to reducing fossil fuel dependency and waste, positioning them as critical components of the green economy. Furthermore, it addresses challenges such as production costs and scalability, advocating for ongoing research and technological development to maximize their potential. This work underscores the increasingly vital role of biopolymers in sustainable development and sets the stage for further innovation in the field.
