The environmental impact of plastic waste is a growing global challenge, primarily due to non-biodegradable plastics from fossil resources that accumulate in ecosystems. Biodegradable polymers like polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) offer sustainable alternative. PHAs are microbial biopolymers produced by microorganisms using renewable substrates, including agro-industrial byproducts, making them eco-friendly and cost-effective. This study focused on the isolation characterization PHA-producing waste, chickpeas, chickpeas with bean residues, starch. Screening via Sudan Black staining identified PHA-accumulating strains such as

In line with environmental awareness movements and social concerns, the textile industry is prioritizing sustainability in its strategic planning, product decisions, brand initiatives. The use of non-biodegradable materials, obtained from non-renewable sources, contributes heavily to pollution throughout production chain. As sustainable alternatives, considerable efforts are being made incorporate biodegradable biopolymers derived residual biomass, reasonable costs, replace or reduce synthetic petrochemical-based polymers. However, commercial deployment these dependent on high biomass availability a cost-effective supply. Residual forest lignocellulosic composition seasonably available at low cost, constitutes an attractive renewable resource that might be used as raw material. Thus, this review aims carrying out comprehensive analysis existing literature source new biomaterials for industry, identifying current gaps problems. Three specific considered: lignin recovered bacterial poly(hydroxyalkanoates) (PHAs) cellulose (BC), which can produced sugar-rich hydrolysates polysaccharide fractions biomass. Lignin, PHA, BC find applications, example, develop fibers technical textiles, thus replacing currently materials. This approach will considerably contribute improving by reducing amount materials upon disposal their impact. Moreover, integration material produce advanced consistent principles circular economy bioeconomy offers potential development innovative industry.

A polymer is a long-chain molecule formed by linking numerous simpler repeating chemical units, known as monomers, with identical structures. Over the past two centuries, there has been significant increase in global production and use of petrochemical-based plastics. This surge led to widespread ecological imbalances, affecting air quality, terrestrial marine ecosystems, food chains, plant life. Consequently, excessive such polymers created challenges solid waste management, methods like bio- or photo-degradation, incineration, landfilling, recycling proving be time-consuming laborious. Therefore, growing urgency for biodegradable due increasing demand. Biodegradable consist interconnected monomers unstable links backbone, facilitated various functional groups. Throughout degradation process these polymers, biologically acceptable molecules are produced. study examines significance biopolymers over petroleum-based counterparts, offering detailed analysis. It noteworthy that within spectrum polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) emerge exceptionally promising candidates substituting petroleum-derived owing their remarkable physical attributes. this provides systematic overview PHAs, including classification, historical background, production, potential commercialization, diverse applications.
