Core Viewpoint - The article discusses the current state and future potential of bioplastics, highlighting the advancements in microbial production of plastic monomers and the challenges faced in achieving industrial-scale production [1][2]. Group 1: Bioplastics Market Overview - The representative bioplastics in the market include PBAT, PLA, PBS, PA, PTT, and PET, which together account for approximately 65% of the total bioplastics market share [1]. - It is projected that by 2025, the annual market share of bioplastics will increase to 18% of the total plastics market [1]. Group 2: Challenges in Microbial Production - The economic feasibility of certain monomers remains low, posing challenges for industrial-scale microbial production [2]. - Key challenges include low raw material utilization efficiency, poor monomer synthesis efficiency due to complex microbial metabolic networks, and weak environmental tolerance of microorganisms during fermentation [2]. Group 3: Technological Developments - A research team led by Professor Liu Liming and Associate Researcher Gao Cong from Jiangnan University has developed key technologies for the high-yield production of plastic monomers such as 1,3-propanediol, succinic acid, and pentamethylenediamine [3]. Group 4: Upcoming Events - The SynBioCon 2025 conference will be held from August 20-22 in Ningbo, Zhejiang, focusing on the integration of AI and biomanufacturing, as well as advancements in green chemistry and new materials [10][11].
