Tremendously negative effects have been generated in recent decades by the continuously increasing production of conventional plastics and inadequate management their waste products. This demands materials within a circular economy, easy to recycle biodegrade, minimizing environmental impact cost competitiveness. Bioplastics represent sustainable alternative this scenario. However, replacement must be addressed considering several aspects along lifecycle, from bioplastic processing final application product. In review, using different additives, biomass sources, techniques on mechanical thermal behavior, as well biodegradability, bioplastics is discussed. The importance bioplasticizers highlighted, besides studying role surfactants, compatibilizers, cross-linkers, coupling agents, chain extenders. Cellulose, lignin, starch, chitosan, composites are analyzed part non-synthetic considered. Throughout study, emphasis use well-established manufacturing processes, such extrusion, injection, compression, or blow molding, since these ones that satisfy quality, productivity, requirements for large-scale industrial production. Particular attention also given fused deposition modeling, additive technique nowadays not only used making prototypes, but it being integrated into development parts wide variety biomedical applications. Finally, recyclability commercial discussed, some future perspectives challenges bio-based with conclusion technological innovations, economic incentives, policy changes could coupled individually driven solutions mitigate impacts associated plastics.
