This review paper provides an overview of the biodegradable materials that can be produced from different sources such as vegetable and fruit waste, cereals and pulses waste, seaweeds, animal waste, wood waste and aims to address the current limitations and indicate the future directions. Graphical ...
This chapter presents the analysis of biodegradable waste from small farms and food industry enterprises, their specific features and prediction of flows' formation, as well as the amounts to be...doi:10.1007/978-3-319-78211-9_1Baltrėnas, Pranas...
Plastic waste disposal is a huge ecotechnological problem and one of the approaches to solving this problem is the development of biodegradable plastics. This review summarizes data on their use, biodegradability, commercial reliability and production from renewable resources. Some commercially successful ...
They can be more cost-effective than products made of synthetic rubber and are eco-friendly because their production takes non-biodegradable waste out of the environment. Recycled rubber and plastic foam is a product made from waste pieces from the prime manufacturing process of closed cell sponge...
waste, which in turn has detrimental effects on the environment, including ozone depletion, eco-toxicity, the release of carcinogens, global warming, and eutrophication.1"3 In response to growing environmental concerns about non-biodegradable plastics, bioplastics have emerged as an alternative solution...
Gardening activities may also generate garden wastes, such as grass clippings or leaves, which, if deposited on nearby impervious surfaces, are a source of biodegradable organics, N and P to runoff (Dorney, 1986; Selbig, 2016). Pesticides used in gardening to control insects, weeds, and ...
Various environmental friendly approaches are required to provide value-added solutions for waste recycling to replace non-biodegradable or toxic conventional practices [46,47]. According to the Web of Science search till July of 2022, a total of 62 papers have been published during 2012–2021 ...
waste, new polymeric materials that are biodegradable and environmentally benign must replace the current ones. Due to their numerous uses in packaging, agriculture, and biomedicine, biodegradable polymers based on renewable resources have received a lot of attention lately. This study seeks to provide...
waste management infrastructure, this estimate is projected to increase further by an order of magnitude by 2025 (Jambeck et al.2015). On the other hand, based on the estimate of 2010, the overall weight of plastics in oceans is expected to exceed the amount of fish present in the sea ...
Methylene blue is a cationic water-soluble dye with multiple uses in the production of textiles, plastic, paper, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics [18,22,23], but due to its complex structure, natural degradation is difficult (nonbiodegradable); moreover, it is toxic and carcinogenic above certain...
