The production and utilization of conventional plastics have raised concerns regarding plastic waste management environmental safety. In response, the emergence biodegradable bioplastics presents a possible solution for sustainability. On other hand, efficacy biodegradation is strictly dependent on both bioplastic type conditions in which occurs. This review offers comprehensive overview behavior several under managed (industrialized or controlled) environment, such as industrial composting anaerobic digestion (at either mesophilic thermophilic temperature), well less studied unmanaged (natural open) environments, including soil, seawater, freshwater. Although trend some known, further investigation should be pursued others order to clearly knowledge ability choose most viable specific application future end-of-life.

Anaerobic Digestion (AD) technology emerges as a viable solution for managing municipal organic waste, offering pollution reduction and the generation of biogas fertilisers. This study reviews research works advancements in AD implementation to effectively impact UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Furthermore, critically analyses responsible waste management that contributes health safety, elevating quality life both rural urban areas and, finally, creates map outputs onto all 17 SDGs. Finally, assessment employs three sustainability pillars (i.e., economic, environmental, social perspectives) examine direct indirect links between The findings reveal substantial progress, such poverty through job creation, bolstering economic growth (SDGs 1, 8, 10, 12), enhancing agricultural productivity (SDG 2), advancing renewable energy usage diminishing reliance on fossil fuels 7), fostering inclusive education gender equality 4, 5, 9), combating climate change 13), transforming cities into sustainable harmonious environments 11, 16, 17), curbing environmental 3, 6, 12, 14, 15). Nonetheless, highlights need further efforts achieve SDG targets, particularly part liquid solid fertilisers outputs.

The global production and consumption of plastics, as well their deposition in the environment, are experiencing exponential growth. In addition, mismanaged plastic waste (PW) losses into drainage channels a growing source microplastic (MP) pollution concern. However, complete understanding environmental implications throughout life cycle is yet to be fully understood. Determining potential extent which MPs contribute overall ecotoxicity possible through monitoring PW release MP removal during remediation. Life assessments (LCAs) have been extensively utilized many comparative analyses, such comparing petroleum-based plastics with biomass single-use multi-use alternatives. These typically yield unexpected or paradoxical results. Nevertheless, there still paucity reliable data tools for conducting LCAs on plastics. On other hand, impact so far not considered LCA studies. This due absence inventory-related regarding releases characterization factors necessary quantify effects MP. Therefore, this review paper conducts comprehensive literature order assess current state knowledge impacts that occur along strategies management LCA.

Abstract From the invention of papermaking in ancient times to wide range modern applications fields textiles, medicine, food, and nanotechnology, development cellulose‐based materials reflects humanity's ongoing exploration utilization renewable resources. The production is highly dependent on solvents which can deconstruct regenerate structure cellulose. However, solubility, processing technology, application cellulose based deconstruction regeneration require further research breakthroughs. Here, structural characteristics, solvent system, modification methods, degradation performance are briefly introduced. Moreover, life cycle assessment discussed improve evaluation system demonstrate environmental friendliness potential materials. Finally, several key technologies strategies that assist meeting requirements bioplastics emphasized, with a view increasing recognition their advantages as biodegradable

The ability of full-scale industrial plants to degrade bioplastics waste must be verified exclude any negative effects on the quality process outputs. This study aims assess degradation two thermoplastic cellulose acetate-based bioplastics, in pure and composite forms both Anaerobic Digestion (AD) Composting (C) conditions. main occurred during AD, where a disintegration about 36% 50% was achieved from acetate, respectively. C did not exceed 20% for samples. combined resulted slightly higher (58–40%) than that obtained revealing how alteration samples an anaerobic environment. Despite this macroscopic degradation, showed only minor superficial as highlighted SEM analysis. FT-IR spectroscopy, TGA andDSC analyses biodegradation mechanism involved mainly plasticizer loss deacetylation matrix, with partial backbone However, were favored AD + processes presence filler These results demonstrated scale can differ significantly those laboratory scale, especially acetate. Furthermore, current optimized treatment bioplastics. Hence, works could help facilities managers emerging materials such more sustainable way.

This work evaluates the preparedness of packaging industry towards more circular, sustainable solutions for fresh meat and fish. The term bioplastic is ill-defined, creating confusion between all stakeholders in value chain. implementation as food contact material will only occur when there are demonstrated that can equally or better protect fish from spoilage, compared to conventional plastic. Price, supply chain availability, machinability, safety also be key shift fossil bioplastic. application at its infancy. In this work, a multidisciplinary approach was employed highlight need holistic eco-design minimizes waste, due high environmental footprint meat.
