Implication

Systematic review demonstrates the potential of waste cooking oil to produce sustainable biopolymers and biolubricants, suggesting vital green transitions.

Key Points

This review aims to assess the potential of waste cooking oils (WCO) as sustainable precursors for biopolymers, bioplasticizers, and biolubricants.
Followed PRISMA 2020 guidelines for systematic review.
Searched PubMed, Scopus, and MDPI databases up to September 2025.
Included peer-reviewed studies focusing on chemical and biotechnological conversion pathways published in English in the last decade.
Identified 87 studies from an initial pool of 2637 records that met eligibility criteria.
Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) were found to be the most extensively researched WCO-derived products.
Highlighted challenges in scaling from bench-scale to industrial implementation due to heterogeneous WCO composition and lack of standardized protocols.
