AB  - The low percentage of recyclability of the polymeric materials obtained by olefin 
      transition metal (TM) polymerization catalysis has increased the interest in 
      their substitution with more eco-friendly materials with reliable physical and 
      mechanical properties. Among the variety of known biodegradable polymers, linear 
      aliphatic polyesters produced by ring-opening polymerization (ROP) of cyclic 
      esters occupy a prominent position. The polymer properties are highly dependent 
      on the macromolecule microstructure, and the control of stereoselectivity is 
      necessary for providing materials with precise and finely tuned properties. In 
      this review, we aim to outline the main synthetic routes, the physical properties 
      and also the applications of three commercially available biodegradable 
      materials: Polylactic acid (PLA), Poly(Lactic-co-Glycolic Acid) (PLGA), and 
      Poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) (P3HB), all of three easily accessible via ROP. In this 
      framework, understanding the origin of enantioselectivity and the factors that 
      determine it is then crucial for the development of materials with suitable 
      thermal and mechanical properties.
