Environmental Impact of Synthetic Cell Technology: Review of Life Cycle Assessment Data for Feedstocks and Production Methods

ChemBioChem, Volume 27, Issue 15, 14 August 2026.
Synthetic cells are positioned as enablers of green technology. But what is known about the environmental impact of synthetic cell production? In this review, we examine drivers of greenhouse gas emissions, toxicity, and other environmental impact categories of synthetic cell components.

Plastics and Bioplastics End of Life: A Biocatalytic Perspective

Microbial Biotechnology, Volume 19, Issue 8, August 2026.
Biocatalysis links selected conventional plastics and bioplastics to biological routes for polymer transformation, product recovery and end‐of‐life management. Enzymes and microbes enable depolymerisation, upcycling and recovery of monomers, platform chemicals and new materials.

Polyesterase activity and thermostability of carboxylesterases from Thermoleophilum album YS‐3

The FEBS Journal, Volume 293, Issue 15, Page 4724-4743, August 2026.
Three novel α/β‐hydrolases from thermophilic bacterium Thermoleophilum album display carboxylesterase and polyesterase activity. These enzymes hydrolyse PET, PLA and PCL both at high and moderate temperatures. TA21 shows superior activity, efficiently converting MHET to terephthalic acid. Structural features underlying substrate binding highlight their

Acyclic Hydrocarbon α,ω‐Dienes: From Biomass and Plastic Upcycling to Carbocycles, Precision Polymers, and Cross‐Linked Elastomers

ChemSusChem, Volume 19, Issue 14, 29 July 2026.
Hydrocarbon α,ω‐dienes are mainly produced from steam‐cracking derivatives, but high costs, complexity, and environmental impact limit their use. This review highlights sustainable paths from biomass and plastic upcycling, and surveys catalytic transformations into carbocycles and specialty polymers, emphasizing their role as modular building blocks ...

Metal‐Free, Mild, and Sustainable Synthesis of Bio‐Based Polyesters via EDC/DMAP‐Mediated Polycondensation: Structure–Property Relationships and Thermal Stability

ChemSusChem, Volume 19, Issue 14, 29 July 2026.
We developed a mild, metal‐free EDC/DMAP‐mediated polycondensation platform for bio‐based polyesters from FDCA (2,5‐furandicarboxylic acid) and succinic acid, enabling access to homopolyesters from unsaturated and aliphatic diols as well as heteropolyesters prepared by one‐pot or sequential routes.
