A prescription for plastic waste
Trends in BiotechnologyIn a recent study, Johnson et al. demonstrated a potentially generalizable strategy to bioremediate and upcycle plastic waste by interfacing a chemical reaction not typically found in nature with Escherichia coli. They further applied this approach to synthesize paracetamol (acetaminophen), one of the most widely used over-the-counter active ...

A Review of Plastic Waste Biodegradation
Critical Reviews in Biotechnology, 2005With more and more plastics being employed in human lives and increasing pressure being placed on capacities available for plastic waste disposal, the need for biodegradable plastics and biodegradation of plastic wastes has assumed increasing importance in the last few years. This review looks at the technological advancement made in the development of

Pyrolysis of composite plastic waste
Environmental Technology, 2003Several different composite plastics were pyrolysed in a fixed bed reactor at final temperatures between 350 and 800 degrees C. The composites studied were polyester, phenolic, epoxy, vinylester, polypropylene and PET resins, reinforced with glass and/or carbon fibre.
