Abstract
Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA) have emerged as promising biopolymers due to their biodegradability and potential to replace conventional plastics. This review paper provides an overview of PHA production through fermentation, with a specific focus on utilizing whey as a cost-effective substrate. The paper highlights the importance of microorganism selection, whey pre-treatment requirements, recycling waste streams, PHA purification techniques, and the influence of PHA monomer composition on product properties. By addressing these key aspects, this review aims to contribute to the development of economically viable and environmentally friendly PHA production processes
