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

A Global Review of Microplastic Contamination in Groundwater: Empirical Evidence and Latin American Perspectives

Water and Environment Journal, Volume 40, Issue 3, Page 357-366, August 2026.
ABSTRACT The presence of microplastics (MPs) in groundwater has emerged as a significant concern due to their environmental impact and the threat they pose to vital water resources, groundwater being one of the most important freshwater sources in the world.

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.
