Abstract

The demand for sustainable materials has led to the emergence of biodegradable polymers as a promising solution to address environmental concerns. This editorial explores the benefits and applications of biodegradable polymers, highlighting their reduced environmental impact, resource conservation, and waste management advantages. The article discusses their potential applications in packaging, agriculture, biomedical fields, and textiles, emphasizing their role in reducing plastic waste. While challenges related to cost-effectiveness and mechanical properties persist, ongoing research and collaborations aim to improve and optimize biodegradable polymers. With growing governmental support and increasing consumer demand for sustainability, these polymers are paving the way for a more environmentally friendly future.
