Bioplastics are emerging as a promising alternative to traditional plastics, driven by the need for more sustainable options. This review article offers an in-depth analysis of entire life cycle bioplastics, from raw material cultivation manufacturing and disposal, with focus on environmental impacts at each stage. It emphasizes significance adopting agricultural practices selecting appropriate feedstock improve outcomes. The highlights detrimental effects unsustainable farming methods, such pesticide use deforestation, which can lead soil erosion, water pollution, habitat destruction, increased greenhouse gas emissions. To address these challenges, advocates efficient extraction techniques renewable energy sources, prioritizing considerations throughout production process. Furthermore, methods reducing consumption, usage, chemical inputs during implementing eco-friendly technologies. stresses importance developing robust disposal systems biodegradable materials supports recycling initiatives minimize new resources. holistic approach sustainability, including responsible cultivation, practices, effective end-of-life management. underscores evaluate potential bioplastics reduce plastic considering technological advancements, infrastructure development, consumer awareness. Future research should enhancing understanding long-term ecological impacts, advancing technology better performance compatibility. comprehensive bioplastics' footprint urgent solutions in production.
