While CO₂-based biodegradable polymers show significant promise in addressing the twin challenges of plastic waste and climate change, several barriers remain. The development of efficient catalysts for CO₂ activation remains a major hurdle, as existing catalysts often suffer from low activity, selectivity, or require harsh reaction conditions, limiting their practical application. Moreover, achieving the right balance between biodegradability and essential polymer properties, such as strength, flexibility, and thermal stability, continues to be a challenge. Current literature predominantly focuses on refining polymerization processes but often overlooks the optimization of the physical and mechanical properties of the resulting polymers for industrial applications .
