Resumen

Los plásticos derivados de combustibles fósiles son una parte importante de la vida moderna y es el material más utilizado en todos los sectores industriales. El uso de plásticos aumenta día a día y su degradación se ha convertido en un gran reto. Además, los polímeros plásticos no degradables tienden a acumularse como residuos en el medio ambiente, lo que supone una gran amenaza ecológica y plantea problemas de cambio climático. Por lo tanto, la identiﬁcación de los microbios que pueden crecer fácilmente en plástico y los nuevos agentes biológicos con potencial de degradación de material plástico se han revisado aquí. En vista de ello, el proceso enzimático puede conducir a la conversión del plástico en agua, dióxido de carbono y metano como subproducto. Además, los combustibles fósiles utilizados para fabricar artículos de plástico van a menos, por lo que los científicos están encontrando nuevas alternativas de base biológica. En este sentido, el almidón puede ser un biopolímero prometedor para la síntesis de bioplásticos tras comprender el proceso de deterioro biológico y los mecanismos bióticos y abióticos. Por lo tanto, esta revisión presenta específicamente una amplia evaluación de bioplásticos a partir de residuos animales que pueden traer cambios revolucionarios en el medio ambiente para mitigar los cambios climáticos.

Plastics derived from fossil fuels are an important part of modern life and it is the most commonly used material in every industrial sector. The use of plastics is increasing day by day and its degradation has become a great challenge. Moreover, non-degradable plastic polymers tend to accumulate as waste in the environment posing a major ecological threat and climate change issues. Therefore, the identiﬁcation of microbes that can grow easily on plastic and the novel biological agents with exert degradative potential on plastic material have been reviewd herein. In light of these, the enzymatic process can lead to the conversion of plastic into water, carbon dioxide, and methane as a byproduct. Furthermore, fossil fuels utilized to make plastic items are going to be shortened, therefore scientists are finding novel biobased alternatives. In this regard, starch can be promising biopolymer for bioplastic synthesis after understanding underlysing the biological deterioration process and biotic as well as abiotic mechanisms. Hence, this review specifically presents an extensive evaluation of bioplastic from animal waste that can bring revolutionary changes in the environment to mitigate the climate changes
