Bio-based material from fruit waste of orange peel for industrial applications
Journal of Materials Research and Technology, 2022 Bioplastics are plastics derived from natural resources like corn starch, biomass, sugarcane bagasse, and food waste. Unlike fossil fuel-based plastics, they are bio-degradable entirely or partially.

Characterization and Separation of Traditional and Bio-Plastics by Hyperspectral Devices
Applied Sciences, 2020 Nowadays, bio-plastics can contaminate conventional plastics sent to recycling. Furthermore, the low volume of bio-plastics currently in use has discourage the development of new technologies for their identification and separation. Technologies based on

Investigation on co-hydropyrolysis of heavy bio-oil with degradable plastics
Carbon Capture Science & Technology, 2023 Reducing the acidity and viscosity of heavy bio-oil is one of the main tasks of bio-oil treatment. The sharp increase in the consumption of degradable plastics requires an effective route for their recycling.

Understanding Marine Biodegradation of Bio-Based Oligoesters and Plasticizers
Polymers, 2023 The study reports the enzymatic synthesis of bio-based oligoesters and chemo-enzymatic processes for obtaining epoxidized bioplasticizers and biolubricants starting from cardoon seed oil. All of the molecules had MW below 1000 g mol−1 and were analyzed in terms of marine biodegradation.

Green building blocks for bio‐based plastics
Biofuels, Bioproducts and Biorefining, 2014 Abstract In this paper we investigate the possible routes to produce the most commonly used polymers from biomass. This includes vinyl polymers, polyesters, polyamides, polyurethanes, and synthetic rubbers. Also the most promising newly developed polymers that can be produced from biomass are investigated.

Melt strength enhancing additives for reactive extrusion of polylactide – a comparative study
Polymer TestingPolylactide (PLA) has a low inherent melt strength which is an obstacle to its use in film and blow-molding applications. This can be addressed through the use of reactive chain extension, but commercially available additives for this process vary widely
