Bioplastic classifications and innovations in antibacterial, antifungal, and antioxidant applications

Journal of Bioresources and Bioproducts, Год журнала: 2023, Номер 8(4), С. 361 - 387

Опубликована: Июль 13, 2023

Conventional plastics exacerbate climate change by generating substantial amounts of greenhouse gases and solid wastes throughout their lifecycle. To address the environmental economic challenges associated with petroleum-based plastics, bioplastics have emerged as a viable alternative. Bioplastics are type plastic that either biobased, biodegradable, or both. Due to biodegradability renewability, established earth-friendly materials can replace nonrenewable plastics. However, early bioplastic development has been hindered higher production costs inferior mechanical barrier properties compared conventional Nevertheless, studies shown addition additives fillers enhance properties. Recent advancements in incorporated special like antibacterial, antifungal, antioxidant agents, offering added values unique for specific applications various sectors. For instance, integrating antibacterial into enables creation active food packaging, extending shelf-life inhibiting spoilage-causing bacteria microorganisms. Moreover, be applied wound dressings, accelerating healing preventing oxidative damage cells tissues. These innovative developments offer promising opportunities developing sustainable practical solutions fields. Within this review two main focuses: an outline classifications understand how they fit coveted substitute overview recent innovations applications. We cover use different polymers additives, presenting findings potential within last decade. Although current research primarily focuses on packaging biomedicine, exploration specialized is still its stages, wide range undiscovered opportunities.

Recovery of bio-based products from PHA-rich biomass obtained from biowaste: A review

Bioresource Technology Reports, Год журнала: 2023, Номер 21, С. 101345 - 101345

Опубликована: Янв. 26, 2023

PHAs produced from biowaste are an ecological alternative to petroleum-based plastics. Despite their advantageous characteristics, commercialisation is limited because the extraction process still inefficient. This review describes approaches applied PHA-rich biomass recover bio-based products beyond valorisation as bioplastics. The whole PHA-containing microbial cell can be used for animal feed, since boost immune system of fed animals, and direct extrusion allows production biocomposites. After extraction, by-products recovered make high-value such biostimulants, protein hydrolysates, flocculants, adhesives pharmaceutical. PHAs-rich microbes also animals able excrete in faecal pellets, which they easily retrieved. Such have potential favour transition bioplastics obtained streams, thus reducing environmental impact plastic production.

This research was carried out to enable a better understanding of the attitudes Hungarian consumers and future users towards 5G technology. The development technology supports social, economic environmental sustainability together. Among other things, innovative communities, progress reduction carbon footprint can be positive outcomes 5G. For example benefits environment in two ways: it helps telecom operators reduce their energy usage, thus lowering impact, provides tools that companies use assist others reducing footprint. Partial Least Squares (PLS) regression method used establish correlations between five factor groups. Research indicates prevalent skepticism among toward technology, characterized by apprehensions regarding health risks lack perceived competitive advantages or inherent business adopting hesitancy must countered transparently addressing concerns, debunking myths, building foundational trust technologies through comprehensive educational awareness-raising initiatives, aligning technological advancements with consumer confidence acceptance. demystified so will come embrace its adoption. Due similar conditions historical backgrounds Central European Countries (CEC), results this prove useful policymakers throughout region.

Promising Developments in Bio-Based Products as Alternatives to Conventional Plastics to Enable Circular Economy in Ukraine

Recycling, Год журнала: 2022, Номер 7(2), С. 20 - 20

Опубликована: Март 25, 2022

Transforming the plastic industry toward producing more sustainable alternatives than conventional plastics, as an essential enabler of bio-based circular economy (CE), requires reinforcing initiatives to drive solutions from lab market. In this regard, startups and ideation innovation events can potentially play significant roles in consolidating efforts investments by academia foster biodegradable plastic-related developments. This study aimed present current trends challenges bioplastics materials for plastics. On basis, having conducted a systematic literature review, seminal research themes were unfolded discussed. Then, most recent developments products Ukraine, petroleum-based that have gained publicity through local startup programs hackathons presented. The findings shed light on potential sector facilitate CE transition (i) rendering innovative which been less noticed before; (ii) enhancing academic debate bridging gap between developers, scholars, practitioners within creating circularity across supply chain; (iii) identifying main future perspectives further investigations future.

Consumer preferences and understanding of bio-based and biodegradable plastics

Journal of Cleaner Production, Год журнала: 2023, Номер 417, С. 137979 - 137979

Consumer acceptance of bioplastics is a sine qua non for transitioning to bioeconomy. This necessitates the elucidation consumer preferences and perceptions effective education on facilitate informed choices. However, these factors have not been studied sufficiently. Therefore, we conducted discrete choice experiment text mining among 12,000 Japanese consumers three products using treatment-control design, where respondents in treatment group learned basic distinctions between bio-based biodegradable plastics. Our study revealed complexity their preferences; were unconditionally preferred, values played critical role this stance. Knowledge tests co-occurrence network analyses confirmed limited comprehension respondents. Their had certain differences similarities with those reported previous European studies. For example, contrary consumers, most did favor use biomass. They preferred sugar cane over other feedstocks, indicating that environmental concerns undervalued. Both domestic but different reasons. provides industries governments reference currently acceptable promising types (e.g., increased CO2 emission reduction) development. Simultaneously, institutions can convince prefer more inclusion biomass) by correcting understanding bioplastics. added diversity found studies, which may be informative countries develop policies consumers' potential uniqueness mind. Furthermore, our proved learning basics influence attributes biodegradability) sampled bioplastic products.
