Cover Story: The proliferation of plastic waste in the environment has attracted significant attention. In the life cycle of polymers, either chemical or physical changes will occur due to varying environmental factors. This process leads to changes that result in functional deterioration. In addition to the ongoing innovations to enhance the sustainability of the polymer industry, consumers are focused on their sustainability potential. Due to the present demand for sustainable polymers, bio-based polymers have been identified as a solution. To optimize the functional use of bio-based polymers and retention of their bio-degradation capability, this study focuses on PLA, PCL, PHA and PA bio-based polymers due to their potential in technological applications. This review covers their processing and degradation pathways. Future trends and conclusions are also provided. View this paper
