Biobased polymers such as cellulose, chitin/chitosan, starch, alginate, and lignin are making inroads sustainable, environmentally safe biodegradable alternatives to synthetic colloidal materials. This perspective summarizes recent developments in preparation techniques, identifies critical barriers, proposes future directions for improving the performance applicability of biopolymer structures. A major focus is sustainable colloids morphology a means introducing functionality without chemical modification. We discuss strategies fabrication four distinct classes morphologies from biobased materials: spherical nonspherical particles, fibers/fibrils, films. Their methods can be categorized into physical approaches. Despite advancements these methods, challenges persist regarding uniformity, scalability, desired properties, need enhance environmental sustainability. Addressing essential facilitating transition greener, more microplastic-free alternatives.
