A “Polymer to Polymer” Chemical Recycling of PLA Plastics by the “DE–RE Polymerization” Strategy
TL;DR: In this paper , a DE-RE polymerization strategy was proposed to achieve the recycling process from end-of-life polylactide (PLA) waste to new virgin-quality PLA materials in a "polymer to polymer" mode.
Journal ArticleDOI
Commercial Marine-Degradable Polymers for Flexible Packaging.
Amber Barron,Taylor D. Sparks +1 more
TL;DR: Commercial polymers that are biodegradable in marine environments but have comparable product stability and moisture barrier properties to polyolefins are investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Recent advances and future prospects of cellulose, starch, chitosan, polylactic acid and polyhydroxyalkanoates for sustainable food packaging applications.
TL;DR: In this article , the authors provide an insight into the recent advances in research that address the limitations of the application of these biopolymers in the food packaging industry on a commercial scale due to their poor performance and processing characteristics.

Eco-Friendly Supercapacitors Based on Biodegradable Poly(3-Hydroxy-Butyrate) and Ionic Liquids.
Lorenzo Migliorini,Tommaso Santaniello,Francesca Borghi,Paolo Saettone,Mauro Comes Franchini,Gianluca Generali,Paolo Milani +6 more
TL;DR: This work presents a novel class of eco-friendly supercapacitors based on biodegradable poly(3-hydroxybutyrrate) PHB, ionic liquids, and cluster-assembled gold electrodes, and demonstrates the possibility of tuning thesupercapacitor energetic performance according to the type and amount of the ionic liquid employed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Individual antecedents to consumer intention to switch to food waste bioplastic products: A configuration analysis
TL;DR: The authors leveraged complexity theory and a qualitative comparative analysis research approach to uncover eight different, yet equifinal, configurations of antecedents that motivate consumer intention to switch from new plastic products to equivalent products made from bioplastics.

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.
