%X In contrast to the traditional use of petroleum-based polymers, biopolymers are primarily made of polymers derived from living organisms like plants and bacteria. These molecular chains can naturally degrade in the environment because they are made of repeating chemical units derived from sustainable sources. The growing usage of biomaterials is a sustainable solution to reduce dependency on non-renewable resources and alleviate environmental damage caused by synthetic materials. The ability of biopolymers to degrade naturally and to be non-toxic is essential for preserving a clean and secure environment. Biopolymers are now known to become more and more popular as a result of their unique qualities, which include non-toxicity, biodegradability, biocompatibility, and eco-friendliness. These characteristics are particularly useful in bioengineering domains such as agriculture, pharmaceuticals, biomedical, ecological, industrial, aqua treatment, and food packaging.  A summary of the significance of biopolymers in creative and clever bioengineering applications is the goal of this review paper.
