Integrating Value Considerations in the Decision Making for the Design of Biorefineries
TL;DR: It is shown that MM interventions during the design process led to new design alternatives in support of stakeholders' values, and allowed to recognize and respond to emerging value tensions within the scope of the project.

Production of bioplastics for agricultural purposes: A supply chain study
TL;DR: The aim of this study is to investigate on the structure of this potential supply chain, from the collection or separation of OFMSW, to the commercialisation of biodegradable mulching films, in order to identifying the possible bottlenecks hindering its development.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sustainable Food Packaging: Materials and Waste Management Solutions
TL;DR: The current food packaging model in most cases is a linear material flow model and is far from the sustainable alternative -circular economy approach where materials are recycled and recovered at the end of each service life as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biodegradable biopolymers for active packaging: demand, development and directions
TL;DR: Biodegradable active food packaging addresses key environmental issues including plastic waste and food waste as mentioned in this paper , but it is not suitable for green food packaging, as it is unsuitable for indoor use.
Journal ArticleDOI
Degradation and flammability of bioplastics based on PLA and lignin
TL;DR: In this article , the preparation of polylactide (PLA)-derived bioplastics, where kraft lignin (L), sulfonated kraft Lignin(L-SO3H) or sulfonate kraft H+SiO2 were used as natural additives, was investigated using Attenuated Total Reflectance Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR).

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.
