| Description | Currently, the development and manufacturing of enhanced performance product with high-performance bio-based materials has been one of the aspiring purposes by engineers and researchers throughout the globe. For the past several decades, the conventional-based product was shown an increasing trend due to the significant growth of the global demand towards the material, which was attributed to its diverse and universal properties to be used in the development of science and technology. The materials are widely used, especially, for structural purposes in the automotive, marine, aerospace, food packaging, and construction sectors due to their lightweight properties such as higher strength and durability. Around 140 million tons of petroleum-based polymers is manufactured globally. However, petroleum-based polymers show negative effects on the environment, which leads to several issues, including health problems and pollution. Moreover, the majority of conventional plastics that are used end up in landfill areas. These observations showed that the synthetic plastics contribute to the major solid waste environmental pollutants. Subsequently, the increased cost and the negative effect on environment make the engineers and researchers show high interest in polymer biodegradation.
