The Potential of Cleaner Fermentation Processes for Bioplastic Production: A Narrative Review of Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA) and Polylactic Acid (PLA)

Synthetic plastics generate major problems in landfills after their consumption for occupying high volumes and difficult the decomposition of other organic materials. In addition, they are also responsible for impacts on the marine ecosystem. Because of this, the need for cleaner products and process is increasing. Among a variety of existing bioplastics, those derived from cleaner fermentation processes such as polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA) and...
