Plastic polymers with different properties have been developed in the last 150 years to
replace materials such as wood, glass and metals across various applications …

The rise in living standards and the continuous development in the global economy led to
the depletion of resources and increased waste generation per capita. This waste might …

Plastic polymers are widely used in agriculture, industry, and our daily life because of their
convenient and economic properties. However, pollution caused by plastic polymers …

Non-degradable plastics such as polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), polystyrene (PS),
and polyethylene terephthalate (PET) are among the most generated plastic wastes in …

Polyethylene (PE) is one of the most widely used plastics. However, the chemical inertness,
inefficient recycling, and random landfilling of PE waste have caused serious pollution to the …

Plastics are recalcitrant and inert to degrade, and destabilization leads to accumulate in the
terrestrial and marine ecosystems; need for the development of strategies for reducing these …

Plastic pollution, particularly microplastics, poses a significant environmental challenge. This
study aimed to address the urgent need for sustainable solutions to manage plastic waste …

Marine microorganisms have shown the capability of azo dye degradation that is used in the
textile and tanning industries and cause harmful environmental effects. In the present study …

The present investigation discusses the capacity of Cephalosporium species (sp.) and
Mucor species (sp.) to degrade polystyrene. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy …

Plastics have become ubiquitous in both their adoption as materials and as environmental
contaminants. Widespread pollution of these versatile, man‐made and largely petroleum …
