Recycling of bioplastic waste: A review
Giulia Fredi,Andrea Dorigato +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, an end-of-life strategy for biobased non-biodegradable bioplastics such as bio-polyethylene terephthalate (bioPET), bio-Polyethylene (biioPE), and biopolypropylene (bIOPP) is discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fate of Biodegradable Polymers Under Industrial Conditions for Anaerobic Digestion and Aerobic Composting of Food Waste
Francesca Bandini,Alberto Frache,Andrea Ferrarini,Eren Taskin,P. S. Cocconcelli,Edoardo Puglisi +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors simulate the organic fraction of municipal solid waste (OFMSW) treatment in laboratory-scale and assess the biodegradation of poly(lactic acid) (PLA) water bottles and starch-based bags under real industrial conditions of anaerobic digestion and aerobic composting.
Journal ArticleDOI
Extending Cellulose-Based Polymers Application in Additive Manufacturing Technology: A Review of Recent Approaches.
TL;DR: Cellulose is the most abundant biopolymer that possesses many favorable properties to be incorporated into AM materials, which have been continuously focused on in recent years, and this critical review discusses the development of AM technologies and materials, cellulose-based polymers, cellulOSE-based three-dimensional printing filaments, liquid deposition modeling of cellulose, and four-dimensional (4D) printing of cellulosity-based materials.

Comparative Investigation on the Soil Burial Degradation Behaviour of Polymer Films for Agriculture before and after Photo-Oxidation
Francesco Paolo La Mantia,L. Ascione,Maria Chiara Mistretta,Marco Rapisarda,Paola Rizzarelli +4 more
TL;DR: New criteria to evaluate the performance of biodegradable films in agriculture, before and after lifetime, is supplied and a comparative analysis on the soil burial degradation behaviour with traditional ones is provided.
The Potential of Polyhydroxyalkanoate Production from Food Wastes
TL;DR: In the current study, various polyhydroxyalkanoates were produced; each with different thermal and mechanical characteristics useful for different applications, and potentials for the economical and sustainable polyhydroxalkanoate production sound promising.

Isolation and characterization
TL;DR: Animal Models and Therapy, Directed Differentiation and Characterization of Genetically Modified Embryonic Stem Cells for Therapy, and Use of Differentiating Embryonics Stem cells in the Parkinsonian Mouse Model are reviewed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Natural Antibiotic Resistance and Contamination by Antibiotic Resistance Determinants: The Two Ages in the Evolution of Resistance to Antimicrobials
TL;DR: The study of antibiotic resistance has been historically concentrated on the analysis of bacterial pathogens and on the consequences of acquiring resistance for human health, but the studies on antibiotic resistance should not be confined to clinical-associated ecosystems.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biodegradability of plastics.
TL;DR: In this review, microbial and enzymatic biodegradation of plastics and some factors that affect their biodegradability are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Plastic waste in the marine environment: A review of sources, occurrence and effects.
TL;DR: The sources, occurrence, fate and effects of plastic waste in the marine environment are summarized, with land- and ocean-based sources being the major sources and domestic, industrial and fishing activities being the most important contributors.

Polymer biodegradation: mechanisms and estimation techniques.
Nathalie Lucas,Christophe Bienaimé,Christian Belloy,Michèle Queneudec,Françoise Silvestre,Jose-Edmundo Nava-Saucedo +5 more
TL;DR: The aim of this review is to emphasise the importance of measure as well as possible, the last stage of the biodegradation, in order to certify the integration of new materials into the biogeochemical cycles.
