Journal ArticleDOI
Recent Advances in Bioplastics: Application and Biodegradation.
TL;DR: This review summarises the advances in drug delivery systems, specifically design of nanoparticles based on the biodegradable polymers, and provides an overview of theBiodegradation of these polymers and composites in managed and unmanaged environments.
Journal ArticleDOI
Towards bio-upcycling of polyethylene terephthalate
Till Tiso,Tanja Narancic,Ren Wei,Eric Pollet,Niall Beagan,Katja Schröder,Annett Honak,Mengying Jiang,Shane T. Kenny,Nick Wierckx,Rémi Perrin,Luc Avérous,Wolfgang Zimmermann,Kevin E. O’Connor,Lars M. Blank +14 more
TL;DR: In this article, the sequential conversion of post-consumer polyethylene terephthalate (PET) into two types of bioplastics is presented: a medium chain-length polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) and a novel bio-based poly(amide urethane) (bio-PU).
Journal ArticleDOI
Genome analysis of the metabolically versatile Pseudomonas umsongensis GO16: the genetic basis for PET monomer upcycling into polyhydroxyalkanoates.

TL;DR: A novel value-chain for PET upcycling is presented, adding technological flexibility to the global challenge of end-of-life management of plastics.
Journal ArticleDOI
Model-based operational optimisation of a microbial bioprocess converting terephthalic acid to biomass
TL;DR: The model-based optimisation of a liquid feeding regime is presented with the purpose of improving the automation and operational ease of Na2TA conversion into Pseudomonas sp.
