Global concern about plastic pollution is forcing new policies and modifications of human consumption as well promoting research lines aiming at the replacement non-degradable plastics with other polymers more environmentally friendly. Addressing food waste circular economy strategies, among approaches, are crucial in reducing environmental impacts fostering sustainability several sectors like agri-food industry. The European Union’s Circular Economy Action Plan a significant initiative this direction. Biotechnological processes, especially valorisation to produce highly marketed biomolecules poly (3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) (PHBV) using microorganisms cellular factories, offer promising avenues for achieving these goals. PHBV biodegradable polymer firstly characterised an isolated biopolymer from bacterial biomass. This shows interesting physicochemical properties making possible immense potential various applications due its biocompatibility sustainability, thus revealing it good candidate replace produced by chemical synthesis petroleum (which recalcitrant consequently pollutants). review critically analyses end-of-life scenarios their biological pathways, through forms biotechnological operation production, described until moment recycling.

Abstract The development of new polymer materials is an emerging field for more than 100 years. However, it currently facing major challenges and the application digital methods can help to develop processes, discover and, thus, contribute today future. Though, in science very limited, when compared other classes such as small molecules or inorganic high‐performance materials. Nevertheless, there are already first, promising approaches. current review article focuses on these different aspects research including design, synthesis, characterization. Furthermore, discovery engineering highlighted detail showing broad range potential applications science. Finally, future possibilities opportunities derived from state‐of‐the‐art perspectives a evolution provided.

deployment (10-14 GW/yr) would have to increase by a factor of about 7 (to 88 between 2026 and 2035 meet decarbonization goals.The authors like note that this scenario represents higher degree than some other recent studies, it is chosen be illustrative the volumes material U.S. economy might need handle should continue ramp up rapidly.We used historical wind energy data aforementioned high-deployment capacity projections estimate resulting decommissioned materials ability existing recycling infrastructure process these materials.We conducted modeling, life cycle assessment, technoeconomic analyses quantify metrics related technical, environmental, economic potential trade-offs alternative processes for major components.Our focus included turbine component designs may start entering waste stream in next few years.We then results from analysis, aggregated those relate each other, developed priorities RD&D needs opportunities power plant goals Energy Act 2020. Key FindingsThe key findings work include following:• Under 2020 through 2050, can anticipated volume concrete aggregates 8 foundations access roads as well steel components tower, nacelle, drivetrain.Anticipated iron scraps do not exceed 10% capacity.Calculated consider future or repowering 9 operations.Although appears sufficient, investments are needed decarbonize their production further reduce impacts systems, loss critical alloying elements during end-of-life management, develop enhanced disassembly operations could facilitate reuse and/or recovery high-value recycled materials.
