Biodegradation of Different Types of Bioplastics through Composting—A Recent Trend in Green Recycling

Catalysts, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 13(2), P. 294 - 294

Published: Jan. 28, 2023

In recent years, the adoption of sustainable alternatives has become a powerful tool for replacing petroleum-based polymers. As biodegradable alternative to petroleum-derived plastics, bioplastics are becoming more and prevalent have potential make significant contribution reducing plastic pollution in environment. Meanwhile, their biodegradation is highly dependent on The leakage into environment long degradation time frame during waste management processes major concerns that need further investigation. This review highlights extent rate bioplastic composting, soil, aquatic environments, examines biological environmental factors involved process. Furthermore, research long-term fate natural industrial environments. roles played by enzymes as biocatalysts metal compounds catalysts through composting can help achieve approach biopolymers. knowledge gained this study will also contribute development policies assessments waste, well provide direction future development.

Bioplastics: Innovation for Green Transition

Polymers, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 15(3), P. 517 - 517

Published: Jan. 18, 2023

Bioplastics are one of the possible alternative solutions to polymers petrochemical origins. have several advantages over traditional plastics in terms low carbon footprint, energy efficiency, biodegradability and versatility. Although they numerous benefits revolutionizing many application fields, also weaknesses, such as brittleness, high-water absorption, crystallization ability thermal degradation temperature. These drawbacks can be a limiting factor that prevents their use applications. Nonetheless, reinforcements plasticizers added bioplastic production way overcome limitations. materials not yet studied depth, but it is with great optimism industrial market scenarios increasing; growth positive driver for more research this field. National international investments bioplastics industry promote green transition. International projects, EcoPlast Animpol, aim study develop new polymeric made from sources. One biggest problems waste management; there no separation process recycle nonbiodegradable bioplastics, considered contaminants when mixed other polymers. Some additives, impact on microplastics leave after breaking apart subject debate. For reason, important consider life cycle analysis assess environmental viability. possibly processed various ways, including conventional processes used ones. Those include injection moulding extrusion, well digital manufacturing. This possibility these applications greatest strengths. All aspects will discussed review.

The future of bioplastics in food packaging: An industrial perspective

Food Packaging and Shelf Life, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 43, P. 101279 - 101279

Published: April 4, 2024

Plastics have formed an indispensable component of virtually every consumer good. However, they also contributed substantially to contamination the marine environment. The world lacks a well-meaning effort curtail plastic waste. pollution crisis arising from inappropriate disposal or mismanaged wastes has driven strategies repurpose, reuse, and recycle products. Extensive research is continuing aiming produce new generation plastics that are collectively referred as bioplastics. Ideally, bioplastics degraded utilized by surrounding microorganisms, eliminating them our biodegradable still only small percentage global market, many not biodegradable. While good for environment, their position singular credible solution waste debated. In addition, there misunderstandings misconceptions about use, leading lack awareness acceptance. Food packaging currently undergoing rapid change partly due commercial manufacturing order better understand future bioplastics, this review will assess drivers, barriers in context food packaging, role bioplastic circular economy. purpose provide industrial strategic roadmap guide researchers, experts, policy makers, regulating bodies identifying development path
