BHATT* Abstract Current article focus over review of biopastic such as PHA, PLA from lactic acid. However microbial production is more safer and can save money time and labor wih maximum purity. Keywords: PHA, LACTIC ACID, BIOPLASTIC 1.1 Introduction: The term bioplastics was coined by European Bioplastics, a European umbrella organisation for bioplastics. Bioplastics are biodegradable, bio based or both (European Bioplastics, 2016) Chemically unrelated products that are created by microorganisms (or a portion of them) under various environmental circumstances are included in the category of "biomaterials." The bioplastics family is a significant group of biomaterials. Currently, only around 1% of the annual plastic production in the world is bioplastics which is 300 million tons.(Sabbah and Porta 2017). These polyesters have physico-chemical characteristics similar to petrochemical plastics and are found abundantly throughout nature. They build up intracellularly in microorganisms in the form of storage granules. Typically, these polymers are created from hydroxy-acyl-CoA derivatives using several metabolic processes. The monomer composition, macromolecular structure, and physical characteristics of bioplastics vary depending on their microbial source. They are all largely biodegradable and biocompatible, which is really intriguing from a biotechnological perspective. 1.2 Microbial production of bioplastics is an innovative and sustainable approach to produce biodegradable plastics using microorganisms. Bioplastics are a type of plastic derived from renewable biomass sources, in contrast to traditional petroleum- based plastics that are non-renewable and contribute to environmental pollution.(Rujnić-Sokele and Pilipović 2017). 1.3 Classification Bio-based plastics are further classified into three categories: Modified natural polymers, synthesized bio-based polymers from synthesized bio-based monomers and bioplastics from waste. *drsmbhatt@gmail.com DEPARTMENT OF LIFE SCIENCES & BIOTECHNOLOGY, IIMT UNIVERSITY, MEERUT, INDIA 221005 corresponding author Received 26/7/2023 Accepted for publication 31/07/203 Published 01/08/2023 Published on line Cite as S.
