Plasticizers are chemical additives added into polymers to influence desirable mechanical properties such as processability and ductility. These properties are a result of the association of plasticizer and polymer molecules under the theories of plasticization. This review analyses, justifies and explore the use of eco-friendly plasticizers over phthalate-based plasticizers. Owing to health concerns, depletion of crude resources and other factors, there is a gradual drift from traditional phthalate plasticizers to eco-friendly plasticizers in the plastic industry. Eco friendly plasticizers are derived mainly from biomass sources including agricultural products, its by-products and waste. Regardless of the biomass source, ideal eco-friendly plasticizers are expected to be non-toxic, highly resistant to leaching, miscible, effective, and relatively low in cost. Eco friendly plasticizers such as epoxidized plant oils, cardanol, citrates and Isorbide esters are derived from further modifications of oils and triglyceride, starch and cellulose, citric acids, and glycerol. The wide range of advantageous properties of Eco-Friendly Plasticizers in an immense range of products are waterproof with good electrical resistivity, good heat stability, better mechanical strength, weather resistance, light stability, anti-hot and cold capability, etc. Stringent regulations on the use of plasticizers is the major restraint for the market.

Top Impacting Factors
The current market serves plenty of choices of plasticizers along with a huge range of attributes that can be selected for required applications to meet specific material requirements. There has been concerns and controversies occurring due to the environmental factors due to the use of traditional plasticizers and their effects on human health. Thus, the wide application of plasticizers is being questioned due to their toxicity problems and the migration of compounds. The use of eco-friendly plasticizers owing to their low toxicity level and almost zero migration is beneficial for the environment as well as for human health. This option refers to the vast development of eco-friendly plasticizers and also has motivated research in various academic and industrial areas. The use of eco-friendly plasticizers complying low toxicity and good compatibility with several plastics, resins, rubbers etc. to substitute conventional synthetic plasticizers has become more attractive and effective.
