Evaluating the Ready Biodegradability of Biodegradable Plastics
Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry, 2021Abstract Reducing the environmental burden and assessing the safety of plastics are huge global challenges. However, standard test data on the ready biodegradability of plastics are limited. We evaluated the ready biodegradability of 8 biodegradable plastics using Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) test ...

Sustainable, High-Performance, and Biodegradable Plastics Made from Chitin.
ACS Applied Materials and Interfaces, 2022A high-performance biodegradable plastic was made from a chitin KOH/urea solution. The solution was transferred into a hydrogel by cross-linking using epichlorohydrin and ethanol immersion, and a chitin bioplastic was finally prepared by drying in a mold

In the United States, approximately 25 million tons of plastic household waste is discarded every year (US EPA 1990). Most of this waste ends up in the nation's landfills, where it can remain undegraded for decades or longer. In recent years, concern with a perceived garbage crisis has grown as landfill capacity diminishes and sites for new landfills ...

Biodegradable plastics (BDP) are increasingly applied; however, there has been of concerns about their environmental safety, especially from nondegradable additive compositions. Until now, data of ecotoxicity of BDP additives is scarce. Here, nematode C.

Mechanisms of biodegradation of dibenzoate plasticizers
Chemosphere, 2009Biodegradation mechanisms were elucidated for three dibenzoate plasticizers: diethylene glycol dibenzoate (D(EG)DB), dipropylene glycol dibenzoate (D(PG)DB), both of which are commercially available, and 1,6-hexanediol dibenzoate, a potential green plasticizer.

Current Opinion in Biotechnology, 2001
Widespread studies on the biodegradation of plastics have been carried out in order to overcome the environmental problems associated with synthetic plastic waste. Recent work has included studies of the distribution of synthetic polymer-degrading microorganisms in the environment, the isolation of new microorganisms for biodegradation, the discovery ...

Biodegradation of plastics for sustainable environment
Bioresource Technology, 2022Plastics are a kind of utility product that has become part and parcel of one's life. Their continuous usage, accumulation, and contamination of soil and water pose a severe threat to the biotic and abiotic components of the environment. It not only increases the carbon footprints but also contributes to global warming. This calls for an urgent need to

A Review on Biodegradable Plastics
Polymer-Plastics Technology and Engineering, 1990Abstract The interaction between synthetic polymers and the natural environment in terms of the effects of oxygen, radiant energy, and living organisms has been extensively studied over the past two decades [1]. However, the recent trends in the preservation of the environment have created much public interest.
