Abstract:In developing country environmental pollution by synthetic polymer has assumed dangerous proportions. The mitigation of this problem is possible by increasing use of biodegradable polymer. Sugar based polymer derived from renewable resources offering a promise in alternative to conventional synthetic polymer which are often non biodegradable and contribute to environmental pollution. There is a worldwide research effort to develop biodegradable polymers as a waste management option for Polymers in the environment. This review explores recent advancement in the synthesis, characterization and biodegradation of sugar based polymer. The biodegradation mechanism and environmental impact and future prospects of this novel material are also discussed.
