In this review, the main routes to produce bioplastics and a critical discussion of these technologies are presented. The synthesis routes to produce biodegradable and non-biodegradable bioplastics are discussed. Additionally, approaches to improve the environmental footprint of some conventional plastics that have no immediate solutions of substitution are also addressed. A comparison of the main properties of the bioplastics considered and a general perspective of the bioplastics market are also provided. Because these themes have often been reviewed separately, this article aims to provide a unified general perspective of bioplastics in the context of a biobased economy, as well as pointing out some of the hurdles in such way. info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/AEI/PID2020-114936RB-I00 info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/DGA-FEDER/T22-23R info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/AEI/MICNN/PID2021–124572OB-C31 info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MICINN/AEI/PID2021-127265OB-C21 info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MCIN/PLEC2022-009221 info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/EUR/MICINN/TED2021-130846B-100 info:eu-repo/semantics/embargoedAccess by-nc-nd https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/deed.es info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/acceptedVersion Atienza-Martínez, Maria Gil-Lalaguna, Noemí Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0002-8704-9274 Serra, Arménio Cornejo, Alfonso Bimbela, Fernando Coelho, Jorge Gandía, Luis M.
