Abstract
The increasing generation of food waste poses significant environmental challenges, but it also presents an opportunity for sustainable biopolymer production. This study explores the potential of converting food waste into biopolymers, focusing on overcoming constraints such as feedstock variability, process efficiency, and economic feasibility. Through a comprehensive analysis of existing methods, including microbial fermentation, chemical conversion, and enzymatic processes, this study identifies key strategies for optimizing biopolymer yields. The findings emphasize the role of innovative technologies and biotechnological advancements in enhancing the scalability of biopolymer production from food waste. This research offers a roadmap for transforming food waste into valuable materials, contributing to the development of a circular economy.
