Given the difficult problems facing traditional petroleum-based polymers, a replacement that is sustainable, biodegradable, comparable, and economical is desired. There is mounting evidence and considerable research in favor of adopting polyhydroxyalkanoates, PHAs, as the biopolymer of choice. Recent advances in this technology support the argument in favor of a transition away from conventional plastics. Taken together, the sustainable production, biodegradability, compatibility, and non-toxicity of PHAs makes for a compelling case toward their adoption. In the near future, improvements in economic competitiveness will further enhance the long-term relevance of PHAs.
