The recent surge in scientific exploration of bioplastics highlights notable interest and importance among researchers, manufacturers, and government agencies. This burgeoning field is expected to undergo rapid expansion in the forthcoming years. The ongoing exploration in bioplastic research suggests significant potential for its integration across various sectors. As a result, the widespread utilization and application of bioplastics may inevitably introduce their residues into the soil environment and groundwater resources, either directly or indirectly. This highlights the crucial necessity for a thorough comprehension of the biodegradation mechanisms and the environmental implications of bioplastics, as well as their effects on interconnected ecosystems. This requires a multidisciplinary approach to be adopted.
