Food waste conversion to microbial polyhydroxyalkanoates
Microbial Biotechnology, 2017 Summary Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) are biopolymers with desirable material properties similar to petrochemically derived plastics. PHAs are naturally produced by a wide range of microorganisms as a carbon storage mechanism and can accumulate to ...

Directed Evolution of an Efficient Polycarbonate Depolymerase With Exceptional Operational Stability
Angewandte Chemie, Volume 138, Issue 18, 27 April 2026.Here, we show that well studied PET hydrolases can be re‐engineered via directed evolution to deconstruct alternative aromatic‐containing commodity polymers. Introduction of only three mutations into LCCICCG was sufficient to generate an efficient polycarbonate hydrolase with high operational stability that can fully depolymerize a polycarbonate sample

Biopolymer‐Coated Paper Composites for Sustainable Packaging
Asia-Pacific Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Conventional plastic packaging, though dominant in food and flexible applications, poses serious environmental concerns due to its persistence and limited recyclability. To address this challenge, this study develops bio‐based coated paper composites as sustainable alternatives. Paper, while biodegradable, lacks adequate barrier properties. To
