The utilization of recycled materials in the production plastic products is an environmentally conscious and economically viable approach. This study delves into mechanical flow properties low-density polyethylene (LDPE) blends, comparing virgin (vLDPE), (rLDPE) vLDPE/rLDPE blends with different ratio (100/0, 75/25, 50/50, 25/75, 0/100) for purpose reprocess variable high-quality end minimal modification. Mechanical properties, such as tensile strength, elongation at break, Young’s modulus, flexural were examined to assess suitability rLDPE comparison its counterpart. Our results demonstrate that blend exhibits comparable those vLDPE, suggesting potential a sustainable alternative reprocessing. Flow specifically melt index (MFI), also assessed evaluate processability LDPE blends. findings reveal are within acceptable range extrusion moulding, indicating these can be effectively processed without major adjustments manufacturing processes. research underscores feasibility incorporating vLDPE reprocessing products, offering both economic environmental advantages. By extending lifecycle through recycling, we contribute reducing waste overall footprint while maintaining desired products.

There is currently growing interest in the creation of artificial microbial consortia, especially field developing and applying various bioremediation processes. Heavy metals, dyes, synthetic polymers (microplastics), pesticides, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons pharmaceutical agents are among pollutants that have been mainly targeted by based on consortia containing fungi (mycelial types yeasts). Such can be designed both for treatment soil water. This review aimed at analyzing recent achievements research useful environmental technologies, where fungal cells applied. The main tendencies formation certain combinations, preferences their forms usage (suspended or immobilized), evaluated using current publications, place genetically modified with assessed. effect multicomponence estimated, as well influence this factor functioning efficiency pollutant removal efficacy. conclusions development new mixed biocatalysts eco-compatible remediation processes implement cells.

The increasing use of plastics globally has generated serious environmental and human health problems, particularly in the agricultural sector where low-density polyethylene (LDPE) other are widely used. Due to its low recycling rate slow degradation process, LDPE is a major source pollution. This paper addresses problem plastic accumulation agriculture, focusing on biodegradation strategies. studies reviewed include recent data methodologies used state-of-the-art technologies others that have been for decades, monitor measure degree each treatment applied can have, including SEM, GCMS, HPLC, microscopy. countries investigating these identified, while some developing them years, only begun address this years. microorganisms such as bacteria, fungi, algae, insect larvae influence decomposition highlighted. A workflow proposed carry out type research. Despite advances, challenges remain, optimizing conditions accelerate process need further research delves into microbial interactions various contexts.

Plastics play a crucial role in modern life, but their accumulation poses serious threat to both the environment and human health. Due effects on terrestrial aquatic environment, it is essential develop sustainable approaches dispose of waste plastics. Traditional methods plastic disposal, such as burning landfilling, are problematic since they produce hazardous byproducts. Biodegradation potentially effective, eco-friendly approach which uses microbial consortia or isolated enzymes break down waste. Enzymes interact with surfaces hydrolyse large polymer chains into smaller units. These byproducts can then be utilised carbon sources by microbes, eventually converted CO2 water. This review explores principal degradation, focus existing emerging polymers made readily biodegradable. In addition, valorisation for converting valuable considered. The implementation circular economy expected lead further development, including scaling up efficient bio-upcycling processes, serve stimulate environmental removal value-added use post-consumer streams.
