The present disclosure relates to the field of chemistry, in particular to a biodegradable polycarbonate polymer, and also relates to a process for synthesizing the biodegradable polycarbonate polymer. The process for synthesizing the biodegradable polycarbonate polymer comprises epoxidation of at least one vegetable oil to obtain an epoxide of said vegetable oil and reacting said epoxide so obtained with carbon dioxide (CO2) in presence of a catalyst to form a cyclic carbonate. Ring opening polymerization (ROP) is then performed on the cyclic carbonate to obtain a mixture containing a crude polymer and precipitating the biodegradable polycarbonate polymer from said mixture.
