Biodegradable polymersare a special class ofpolymerthatbreaks downafter its intended purpose by bacterial decomposition process to result in natural byproducts such as gases (CO2,N2),water,biomass, and inorganic salts.[1][2]These polymers are found both naturally andsyntheticallymade, and largely consist ofester,amide, andetherfunctional groups. Their properties and breakdown mechanism are determined by their exact structure. These polymers are often synthesized bycondensation reactions,ring opening polymerization, andmetal catalysts. There are vast examples and applications of biodegradable polymers.

Bio-based packaging materials have been introduced as a green alternative in the past decades, among which, edible films have gained more attention due to their environmentally-friendly characteristics, vast variety and availability, non-toxicity, and low cost.[3]
