Toward Plastic‐Free Vineyards: The Role of Bioplastics in Sustainable Viticulture—A Review

Polymers for Advanced Technologies, Volume 37, Issue 9, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Agricultural value chains consume more than 12.5 Mt. of plastics annually, and vineyard systems are a notable source of short‐lived plastic waste. In viticulture, conventional plastics improve agricultural efficiency, crop protection, and wine quality, but their widespread use raises environmental and health concerns.
