Plastic waste inputs from land into the ocean
Jenna Jambeck,Roland Geyer,Chris Wilcox,Theodore R. Siegler,Miriam E. Perryman,Anthony L. Andrady,Ramani Narayan,Kara Lavender Law +7 more
TL;DR: This work combines available data on solid waste with a model that uses population density and economic status to estimate the amount of land-based plastic waste entering the ocean, which is estimated to be 275 million metric tons.

Journal ArticleDOI
Biodegradable and compostable alternatives to conventional plastics.
TL;DR: It is the view of the authors that biodegradable packaging materials are most suitable for single-use disposable applications where the post-consumer waste can be locally composted.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biofiber‐reinforced polypropylene composites
TL;DR: In this article, the preparation of lignocellulosic composites by reactive extrusion processing in which good interfacial adhesion is generated by a combination of fiber modification and matrix modification methods is discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biodegradability of polylactide bottles in real and simulated composting conditions
TL;DR: The biodegradability observed for PLA bottles in both conditions explored in this study matches well with theoretical degradation and biodegradation mechanisms; however, biodegrades variability exists in both condition and is discussed in this paper.
