Microplastics in the freshwater and terrestrial environments: Prevalence, fates, impacts and sustainable solutions.
TL;DR: This review shows the interconnection between terrestrial and freshwater microplastics with wastewater and sewage treatment plants as the most significant contributors of environmental microplastic via sludge and effluent discharges.
Journal ArticleDOI
Circular economy design considerations for research and process development in the chemical sciences
TL;DR: The role of chemists in a world without waste is discussed in this paper, where the authors argue that the substances that products are made of will increasingly be treated as a resource equal to the raw materials, and not just disposed of.

The chemistry of chemical recycling of solid plastic waste via pyrolysis and gasification: State-of-the-art, challenges, and future directions
Onur Dogu,Matteo Pelucchi,Ruben Van de Vijver,Paul Van Steenberge,Dagmar R. D'hooge,Alberto Cuoci,Marco Mehl,Alessio Frassoldati,Tiziano Faravelli,Kevin Van Geem +9 more
TL;DR: In this article, an improved deterministic kinetic model for the dominating reaction families of solid plastic waste (SPW) was proposed to identify the leading recycling technologies, minimizing the global warming potential in an industrial context.
Journal ArticleDOI
A circular economy approach to plastic waste
TL;DR: In this article, a review aims to introduce poly (lactic acid) (PLA), a bioplastic, and recent research within the field, focusing on research surrounding plastic waste management.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biodegradation of Wasted Bioplastics in Natural and Industrial Environments: A Review
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated both the extent and the biodegradation rates under different environments and explored the state-of-the-art knowledge of the environmental and biological factors involved in biodegradability.

Composites reinforced with cellulose based fibres
TL;DR: In this article, a survey about physical and chemical treatment methods which improve the fiber matrix adhesion, their results and effects on the physical properties of composites is presented, and the influence of such treatments by taking into account fibre content on the creep, quasi-static, cyclic dynamic and impact behaviour of natural fibre reinforced plastics are discussed in detail.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biocomposites reinforced with natural fibers: 2000–2010
TL;DR: A comprehensive review of literature on bio-fiber reinforced composites is presented in this paper, where the overall characteristics of reinforcing fibers used in biocomposites, including source, type, structure, composition, as well as mechanical properties, are reviewed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biofibres, biodegradable polymers and biocomposites: An overview
TL;DR: The structural aspects and properties of several biofibers and biodegradable polymers, recent developments of different biofiber and biocomposites are discussed in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Conversion of biomass to selected chemical products
TL;DR: This critical review provides a survey illustrated by recent references of different strategies to achieve a sustainable conversion of biomass to bioproducts to examine critically the green character of conversion processes.

Polymer blends and composites from renewable resources
Long Yu,Katherine Dean,Lin Li +2 more
TL;DR: A review of polymer blends and composites from renewable resources can be found in this article, where the progress of blends from three kinds of polymers from renewable sources (i.e., natural polymers such as starch, protein and cellulose), synthetic polymers, such as polylactic acid and polyhydroxybutyrate, are described with an emphasis on potential applications.
