Plastics can be used more sustainably in agriculture

Communications Earth & Environment, Год журнала: 2023, Номер 4(1)

Опубликована: Сен. 25, 2023

Abstract Plastics have become an integral component in agricultural production as mulch films, nets, storage bins and many other applications, but their widespread use has led to the accumulation of large quantities soils. Rational reduction, collection, reuse, innovative recycling are key measures curb plastic pollution from agriculture. that cannot be collected after must biodegradable environmentally benign manner. Harmful additives replaced with safer alternatives reduce toxicity burdens included ongoing negotiations surrounding United Nations Treaty. Although full substitution plastics is currently not possible without increasing overall environmental footprint jeopardizing food security, smaller impacts should used endorsed within a clear socio-economic framework. Better monitoring reporting, technical innovation, education training, social economic incentives imperative promote more sustainable

The accumulation of plastic wastes is one the most widely spread problems affecting environment. reality that plastics can be made from renewable resources and degrade naturally has prompted academics to think outside box develop “better for environment” items. In this paper, a bibliometric analysis scholarly publications related bio-based within last 20 years presented. Annual progression, geographic research area distribution, keyword co-occurrence were all examined. Six distinct clusters emerged analysis, which further categorized into three directions: production marketing; impact on environment, economy, society; end-of-life (EoL) options. major focus was how counter weaknesses challenges take opportunities using inherent advantages plastics. Comprehensive studies regarding economy social sustainability are still deficient. Although there many promising innovations in area, them at stage. benefits better EoL options enjoyed only after increased production.

Nowadays, rapidly increasing production, use and disposable of plastic products has become one the utmost environmental issues. Our current circumstances in which food supply chain is demonstrated as containing particles other plastic-based impurities, represents a significant health risk to humans, animals, alike. According this point view, biodegradable material aims produce more sustainable greener world with lower ecological impact. Bioplastics are being investigated an environmentally friendly candidate address problem hence global bioplastic production seen growth expansion recent years. This article focuses on few critical issues that must be addressed for commercially viable. Although reduction fruit vegetable waste biomass apparent value terms benefits sustainability, commercial success at industrial scale remained flat. due various factors, including feedstocks, pretreatment technologies, enzymatic hydrolysis, scale-up industry, all contribute high capital operating costs. review paper summarizes overview bioplastics derived from biomass. Furthermore, economic technical challenges associated industrialization diverse applications biomedical, agricultural, food-packaging fields their excellent biocompatibility properties reviewed.HighlightsReview types characteristics sustainability biobased plasticsImproved technologies can develop enhance greater yieldEnzyme hydrolysis process used extraction & hasten scale-upFocus facing commercialized bioplasticsDetailed discussion application plastics

Circular and lower impact mussel and seaweed aquaculture by a shift towards bio‐based ropes

Reviews in Aquaculture, Год журнала: 2023, Номер 15(3), С. 1010 - 1019

Опубликована: Март 28, 2023

Abstract Worldwide, current mussel and seaweed aquaculture practices contribute to the increase of fossil fuel‐based plastic gears at sea, leading marine litter microplastics generation. Smart has a great potential for shifting towards use lower impact bio‐based biodegradable gears. This review defines value chain biogears as more sustainable aquaculture, sustainability issues covering technology, environmental impacts, economy‐market, policy, social drivers their implementation. Fit purpose durability functionality attributes, end‐of‐life (EoL) options benefits are key features competitiveness versus conventional EoL management collection, sorting logistics recycling facilities is needed up cycling materials thus ensuring application principles circularity. The selection biopolymers recyclability, improvement polymerisation processes together with enhanced deployment considered factors eco‐designing circular biogears. Current policies supporting plastics in applications benefits, sustainability, healthy products, business opportunities, likewise added development Overall, can reduce negative impacts productions, while enabling bioeconomy.
