      abstract     = {The production of bio-based polymers as replacements for
                      fossil-based ones is becoming increasingly importantto the
                      human society due to the decreasing availability of fossil
                      resources combined with rising fuel prices, andtheir
                      potential to reduce greenhouse gas emissions that are the
                      main cause of climate change. There is strongsocietal and
                      regulatory pressure for the development of more sustainable
                      biodegradable bioplastics. Viablerecycling options are still
                      lacking for many of these plastics. Due to the novelty of
                      biodegradable bioplasticsvaluable chains, more research is
                      required to reduce technical and economic uncertainties and
                      demonstrate thefeasibility and economic competitiveness of
                      them. Therefore, there is an urgent need for technology
                      developmentand the design of transition paths towards
                      structural changes in polymers establishing local and
                      regional circularproduction of bioplastics with potential
                      impact on global economies.It is essential to understand the
                      factors that control the environmental behavior and fate of
                      such bioplastics aswell as their impact on ecosystem
                      functioning. Extensive studies with accurate measurement
                      tools andspecialized analytical techniques are needed for
                      this purpose. The radiolabeling technique (14C) allows
                      thequantification of the degradation process of biopolymers
                      by easily being able to distinguish between CO2 whichis
                      produced during degradation polymers and other carbon
                      sources in natural environment.This review provides an
                      overview of the application of the 14C-labeling technique in
                      polymer degradationstudies that is compared under various
                      conditions. In following, standard methods for 14C-labeling,
                      as well as itspotentials, obstacles, and deficiencies in
                      usage, are also discussed.},
