Biobased technologies for the efficient extraction of biopolymers from waste biomass.

Regardless of considerable progress in synthetic plastic or polymer-based industry, its low biodegradability is a critical issue. Nevertheless, natural "biopolymers" are gradually replacing them for being inherently biodegradable, eco-friendly with other unique properties. This article aims to present a review regarding different extraction techniques of biopolymers [natural (cellulose, chitin, lignin, pectin, starch, xylan), synthetic (polyglycolic acid (PGA), polylactic acid (PLA), polycaprolactone (PCL), polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), polymethayl methacrylate (PMMA)] from waste using bio-based methods. The role of bio-based techniques in terms of conventional/ecologically stable strategies for biomass pre-treatment was investigated for proper utilization of waste. The review summarizes strong interplay between technological and future challenges of biopolymer extraction from waste and paints a discussion of how conventional resources could be replaced with more environmentally friendly materials. Therefore, we advocate the implementation of biomass waste from food, organic, and other bio-based industries that revolutionizes the stance of biopolymer in various emerging fields.
