The depletion of fossil fuels and environmental concerns have driven the development sustainable materials, including bio-based biodegradable plastics, as alternatives to conventional plastics. Although these plastics aid in waste management climate change mitigation, their vulnerability oxidative degradation impacts longevity, durability, performance. Natural antioxidants such tocopherols, flavonoids, tannins, extracted from plants or agri-food waste, present a alternative synthetic stabilizers by enhancing thermal stability polymers like poly(lactic acid) (PLA), poly(butylene succinate) (PBS), succinate-adipate) (PBSA), adipate-co-terephthalate) (PBAT), poly(hydroxyalkanoate) (PHA), starch-based materials. This review highlights recent advances stabilized with natural antioxidants, mechanisms action, role improving material properties for applications packaging. Additionally, it explores impact on recycling processes, advancements composite production techniques, future research directions. Bioplastics can achieve enhanced performance, reduce support circular economy incorporating antioxidants.
