Biowaste management is a challenging job as it is high in nutrient content and its disposal in
open may cause a serious environmental and health risk. Traditional technologies such as …

Traditional extraction of bioactive compounds from biomass requires large amounts of toxic
solvents. As the focus on “green” chemistry increases, efforts are being made to replace …

The runaway production and consumption of oil-based plastics are key drivers of global
warming and the increased carbon footprint. Besides, most of this plastic debris ends up in …

Substituting synthetic plastics with bioplastics, primarily due to their inherent biodegradable
properties, represents a highly effective strategy to address the current global issue of plastic …

The enormous production and widespread applications of non-biodegradable plastics lead
to their accumulation and toxicity to animals and humans. The issue can be addressed by …

Biodegradable biopolymers, such as polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs), have emerged as an
alternative to petrochemical-based plastics. The present work explores the production of …

Bioconversion of waste animal fat (WAF) to polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) is an approach to
lower the production costs of these plastic alternatives. However, the solid nature of WAF …
