The use of plastics from petrochemical resources poses environmental impacts, and one of the alternative solutions is the use of starch. The objective of this present work has been to present the literature on starch, and to highlight the debate in the development of composite films. The approach adopted was to present the state of the art on starch and thermoplastic starch matrix composites. The work shows that starch is available worldwide and can be used in the manufacture of biodegradable plastics; the debate remains on the reinforcement of thermoplastic starch to improve its physical and mechanical properties poor; then researchers must diversify the reinforcements to see the impact on the properties of thermoplastic starch.
