This interdisciplinary article explores the potential of biodegradable and biobased polymers (BBPs) to address plastic pollution and microplastic generation. It examines feedstock selection, chemical modification, use, and end‐of‐life scenarios, including biodegradation and environmental impact of BBPs.

A Roadmap for Biomass‐Driven Development of Sustainable Phase Change Materials
This comprehensive review advances the scientific understanding of sustainability and circularity in phase change material (PCM) fabrication by providing a strategic framework for developing composites from abundant, renewable resources. By screening biomass‐derived PCMs, carbons, and biopolymers, a roadmap is outlined for the development of ...
