Plastics have remained the material of choice, and after serving their intended purpose, a large proportion ends up in environment where they persist for centuries. The packaging industry is largest growing consumer synthetic plastics derived from fossil fuels. Food account bulk plastic waste that are polluting environment. Additionally, given fact petroleum reserves finite facing depletion, there need development alternative materials can serve same purpose as conventional plastics. This paper reviews function highlights future potential adoption green materials. Biopolymers emerged promising although still very low market uptake. Polylactic acid (PLA) has most favoured bioplastic. However, it limited by its high cost some performance drawbacks. Blending with agricultural natural fillers result composites at cost, greenhouse gas emissions, improved food applications. continent Africa proposed rich source fibres be sustainably exploited to fabricate bid achieve circular economy.

Plastics play an important part in every sector of economy all over the world due to their extensive use agriculture, building and construction, health consumer goods. They are backbone many industries because they used manufacturing different products including defense materials, sanitary wares, tiles, plastic bottles, artificial leather other household items. also packaging food items, pharmaceuticals, detergents, cosmetics. Excessive plastics poses a serious threat ecosystem human life on planet. accumulation land sea has aroused interest degrade these polymers. There is need adequate biodegradable methods order reduce burden from environment. In overcome associated environmental problems, understanding interaction between microbes polymers prime importance. Many living organisms but predominantly microorganisms have evolved strategies survive plastics. The present review focuses types basis thermal nature, degradation biodegradation types, degradable plastics, characterization biodegradation, factors affecting biodegradation. Plastic bioremediation potential make propitious for green chemistry eliminate harmful ecosystem.

Conventional petroleum-derived plastics represent a serious problem for global pollution because, when discarded in the environment, are believed to remain hundreds of years. In order reduce dependence on fossil resources, bioplastic materials being proposed as safer alternatives. Bioplastics bio-based and/or biodegradable materials, typically derived from renewable sources. Food waste feedstock represents one recent applications research field bioplastics production. To date, several food wastes have been used raw production bioplastics, including mostly fruit and vegetable wastes. The conversion into biomaterials could occur through simple or more complex processes. some cases, biopolymers extracted biomass directly manufactured; other hand, be reinforced reinforcing agents natural fillers obtain biocomposites. present review covers available results application methods last 10 years design obtained formulations made up with both fruits vegetables by-products. Particular attention will addressed pre-treatment, formulation its processing, well mechanical physical properties materials.
