A review on the occurrence and influence of biodegradable microplastics in soil ecosystems: Are biodegradable plastics substitute or threat?

Environment International, Journal Year: 2022, Volume and Issue: 163, P. 107244 - 107244

Published: April 12, 2022

Plastic products are widely used around the world, but waste plastic is not reasonably managed and causes serious pollution. Biodegradable plastics (BPs) provide an alternative to conventional plastics, all BPs can be completely degraded under natural conditions. Instead, they may break down into microplastics (MPs) faster than posing additional threat soil environment. In this paper, definition, applications, degradation behaviors of BPs, including biodegradable (BMPs), reviewed, we comprehensively summarized eco-toxicological effects BMPs in ecosystems, terms physical chemical properties soil, nutrient cycling, bacterial fungal communities, flora fauna. The compound other pollutants were also addressed. results revealed that made different or more severely compared MPs. Overall, review aims address gaps knowledge, shed light on ecological soil. a perfect substitute solve pollution, further exploration should focus their generation, environmental behavior, impact whether cause harm

A Review of Biodegradable Plastics: Chemistry, Applications, Properties, and Future Research Needs

Chemical Reviews, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 123(16), P. 9915 - 9939

Published: July 20, 2023

Environmental concerns over waste plastics' effect on the environment are leading to creation of biodegradable plastics. Biodegradable plastics may serve as a promising approach manage issue environmental accumulation plastic in ocean and soil. type polymers that can be degraded by microorganisms into small molecules (e.g., H2O, CO2, CH4). However, there misconceptions surrounding For example, term "biodegradable" product labeling misconstrued public imply will degrade under any conditions. Such misleading information leads consumer encouragement excessive consumption certain goods increased littering products labeled "biodegradable". This review not only provides comprehensive overview state-of-the-art but also clarifies definitions various terms associated with plastics, including oxo-degradable enzyme-mediated biodegradation agents. Analytical techniques standard test methods evaluate biodegradability polymeric materials alignment international standards summarized. The summarizes properties industrial applications previously developed then discusses how biomass-derived monomers create new types utilizing their unique chemical from oxygen-containing functional groups. terminology methodologies covered paper provide perspective directions for design possess advanced performance practical benefits.
