Management of Environmental Plastic Pollution: a Comparison of Existing Strategies and Emerging Solutions from Nature
TL;DR: The potential value of symbiotic relationships between plastic-degrading organisms in the biodegradation of plastics in the environment has been explored in this article , where a review summarises the effectiveness of widespread approaches to plastic management, before exploring recent developments in the use of both naturally derived products and plastic degradation organisms to reduce the burden of plastic wastes.
Journal ArticleDOI
An examination of the factors defining engineering technology in bioplastics as well as their antecedents and determinants
TL;DR: In this paper , the differences between bioplastics and biodegradable polymers are discussed, as well as different ways in which they can be processed in different ways.

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.

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.
