Single-use packaging is a major contributor to municipal solid waste and cause of plastic
pollution worldwide, whereas the adoption of biodegradable alternatives is still hampered by …

The production of single-use, non-renewable plastic has persistently impacted the
environment through non-biodegradable plastic accumulation. Injection-moulded …

Biodegradable polyesters represent an advanced alternative to polyolefin plastics in various
applications. Polybutylene adipate terephthalate (PBAT) can compete with polyolefins in …

The aim of this work was to fabricate an intelligent film using sago starch incorporated with
the natural source of anthocyanins from the Bauhinia Kockiana flower and use it to monitor …

Abstract Development of home compostable materials based on bioavailable polymers is of
high strategic interest as they ensure a significant reduction of the environmental footprint in …

The ternary blends of a high content of thermoplastic starch (TPS), poly (butylenes adipate-
co-terephthalate)(PBAT), and poly (butylene succinate)(PBS) were first melt-compounded in …

Defining sustainable end-of-life routes for bioplastics comprises a task of outmost
importance, while biological recycling constitutes the most favorable option for several …

In addition to being bio-degradable, cellulose nanocrystals (CNC) provide high mechanical
strength to polymer composites. They exhibit outstanding properties like high strength-to …

Blending poly (butylene adipate-co-terephthalate)(PBAT) and thermoplastic starch (TPS)
results in a tough biodegradable plastic. TPS is always produced from edible crop-derived …

Context. A significant amount of conventional plastics waste, especially in the form of
microplastics (MPs), has accumulated in soils due to its limited degradation. Oxo …
