Chemical resources and techniques have long been used in the history of bulk polyester production and still dominate today’s chemical industry. The sustainable development of the polyester industry demands more renewable resources and environmentally benign polyester products. Accordingly, the rapid development of biotechnology has enabled the production of an extensive range of aliphatic and aromatic polyesters from renewable bio-feedstocks. This review addresses the production of representative commercial polyesters (polyhydroxyalkanoates, polylactic acid, poly ε-caprolactone, polybutylene succinate, polyethylene terephthalate, polybutylene terephthalate, polypropylene terephthalate, polyethylene furandicarboxylate, polypropylene furandicarboxylate, and polybutylene furandicarboxylate) or their monomers (lactic acid, succinic acid, 1,4-butanediol, ethylene glycol, terephthalic acid, 1,3-propanediol, and 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid) from renewable bioresources. In addition, this review summarizes advanced biotechniques in the treatment of polyester wastes, representing the near-term trends and future opportunities for waste-to-value recycling and the remediation of polyester wastes under sustainable models. For future prospects, it is essential to further expand: non-food bioresources, optimize bioprocesses and biotechniques in the preparation of bioderived or biodegradable polyesters with promising: material performance, biodegradability, and low production cost.
