Nowadays, plastic contamination worldwide is a concerning reality that can be addressed
with appropriate society education as well as looking for innovative polymeric alternatives …

With the issue of plastic waste persisting and the need for more sustainable solutions to the
ever‐increasing demand for lightweight and durable plastic products, this review has …

Mechanical recycling of plastics is regarded as the best option to minimize plastic waste
pollution in the environment as it is well established and offers valorisation of plastics; …

Heat-shrinkable films, largely made of polyolefins and widely employed in the packaging
sector as collation or barrier films, due to their short service life, are held responsible for high …

Polylactide/poly (butylene adipate-co-terephthalate)(PLA/PBAT) blends were compatibilized
using dicumyl peroxide (DCP) and poly (ethylene glycol) 600 diacrylate (PEG600DA) …

This study aims to estimate the degradation process of polylactide (PLA) in natural aqueous
environments. The biological degradation of PLA took place in the Baltic Sea and in the …

This research focuses on improving the oxygen and water vapour barrier properties of blown
PBAT films after adding talc particles (15 and 25 wt%) followed by uniaxial stretching in the …

A biodegradable blend of PBAT—poly (butylene adipate-co-terephthalate)—and PLA—poly
(lactic acid)—for blown film extrusion was modified with four multi-functional chain extending …

The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) has estimated that about
one-third of the food produced for human consumption is currently lost or wasted, resulted in …

Natural fibres from agricultural wastes are the most significant in the polymer manufacturing
industry due to various benefits, such as environmentally friendly, low cost and lightweight …
