The regulatory landscape for plastics is evolving rapidly as governments around the world seek to tackle the issue of plastic pollution and environmental sustainability. In regions like the European Union, the Single-Use Plastics Directive has already led to significant restrictions on plastic waste, including bans on certain single-use plastic items. The shift toward biodegradable materials is central to these regulations, as they aim to reduce the burden of plastic waste on the environment. CO₂-based biodegradable polymers could play a key role in meeting these regulatory demands, offering a solution that not only reduces plastic waste but also sequesters CO₂ .
