The expansion of viable bio-based polymeric materials is gaining increased attention to achieve sustainable development goals. Although durability, cost, and performance still limit their real life applications, these limitations can be overcome through state-of-the-art bio-vitrimeric materials displaying thermoset like mechanical and thermal properties as well as thermoplastic like malleable and thus recyclable properties. Bio-derived chemicals based vitrimers can be of advantage, where material design is made from scratch, allowing to plan material properties in line with their future life cycle from the very beginning. This article emphasizes the current needs of vitrimers based on bio-derived chemicals, including their recycling, reprocessing, and self-healing properties, along with their advantages and potential obstacles from todays’ perspective. The article also identifies potential bio-derivatives as attractive building blocks for vitrimers because of their potential for sustainability.10aRecycling10aSelf-healing10aSustainable materials10aVitrimers1 aKrishnakumar, Balaji1 aPucci, Andrea1 aWadgaonkar, Prakash, P.1 aKumar, Indresh1 aBinder, Wolfgang, H.1 aRana, Sravendra  uhttps://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1385894721048361
