No Clue About Bioplastics [PDF]
SSRN Electronic Journal, 2019 We analyze recycling decisions for bioplastics using a natural field experiment. Bioplastics have environmental benefits – such as reduced energy use in production and enhanced biodegredation – compared to conventional plastics. Recycling decisions that are not consistent with government guidelines, however, may cause a rebound effect.

Microalgae in Bioplastic Production: A Comprehensive Review
The Arabian journal for science and engineering, 2023 The current era of industrialization includes a constantly increasing demand for plastic products, but because plastics are rarely recycled and are not biodegradable plastic pollution or “white pollution” has been the result. The consumption of petroleum-
