  Abstract: The increasing global concern over the environmental impact of traditional plastics derived from petroleum and natural gas has spurred a search for more sustainable alternatives. Bioplastics, which are derived from renewable sources and may be biodegradable, have garnered significant interest as eco-friendly materials. Among the promising building blocks for bioplastics, 2,5-Furandicarboxylic Acid (FDCA) has emerged due to its potential to enhance polymer properties. One key precursor for bioplastics, 5-Hydroxymethylfurfural (5-HMF), …
