Waste to bioplastics: How close are we to sustainable polyhydroxyalkanoates production?

Kasra Khatami et al.

Summary: Increased awareness of environmental sustainability and strict environmental regulations have encouraged the search for novel materials to replace conventional petroleum-derived plastics. Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) are attractive due to their biodegradability and biocompatibility, but challenges remain in production yield and consistency. Bioaugmentation and metabolic engineering are promising approaches to overcome these hurdles in commercial PHA production from waste streams.
