Production of bio-based plastics has drawn much attention as one of the promising solutions to solve environmental problems such as global warming since renewable resources are used for the synthesis of these plastics in carbon-neutral manner. Also, complete biodegradable plastics have much potential to solve plastic wastes problems and microplastic problems, which are raised by improper disposal of non-degradable plastics. Biorefinery processes employing renewable resources for the production of chemicals, fuels and polymers have extensively been developed to produce carbon neutral target products in sustainable manner. For the development of biorefinery processes, engineered microorganisms have generally been employed as host catalysts to produce target products from renewable resouces. In this presentation, the strategies for bio-based production and upcycling polymers the development of are mainly discussed. |
