This article thus addresses the issue, providing an overview of this situation, of the end-of-life environmental problem of biodegradable and compostable packaging. At the same time, it highlights important aspects regarding the solutions meant to answer the identified problems in order to optimize the value chain of the recycling of these packaging and the implementation of innovative approaches, in view of the sustainable development and the circular economy.
