Cover Story: Plastic’s low cost and versatility drive its large-scale global production, but its low recycling rate causes severe environmental issues. Biobased polymers like PLA, PHA, and PBAT are sustainable alternatives as they are biodegradable or compostable and can be recycled. Nonetheless, these materials are expensive and often lack desirable properties, especially resistance to degradation, which is essential during recycling processes. Natural antioxidants like polyphenols can protect bioplastics from oxidative damage, improving their durability and recyclability. These plant-based additives are an eco-friendly alternative to synthetic stabilizers, making biobased polymers more sustainable, efficient, and resistant while maintaining their biodegradability. View this paper
