More plastic is being used, which results in daily increases in environmental contamination. Microplastic and other pollutants made of plastic are being introduced into the environment and our food chain. Research on bio-based plastic is now receiving attention to create a sustainable, greener world with a smaller envi...
Plastic is one of the most widely used and essential materials worldwide, owing to its stability, durability, lightness, requiring low maintenance, transparency, and being cheap. It is the centre of attention as compared to other known materials. Equipped with a vast number of desired properties, plastic facilitates ap...
Currently, plastic pollution is a growing global issue due to its non-biodegradability, increasing demand for eco-friendly alternatives such as bioplastics. This study explores the development of bioplastic films from chickpea starch using a three-step molding process. In the first step, starch is extracted from chickp...
The continuous growth in global population has significantly increased energy demand, leading to the rapid depletion of fossil fuel reserves and environmental issues such as climate change. The combustion of fossil fuels is a major source of greenhouse gas emissions, raising serious environmental and energy security co...
The biopharmaceutical industry faces a new and increasingly urgent materials challenge: how to preserve the performance, sterility, and scalability benefits of plastics while materially reducing their carbon footprint and creating credible pathways for material recovery. Plastics are deeply embedded in modern bioproces...
The growing use of biopolymers has positioned them as sustainable alternatives to conventional petroleum-based plastics. However, biodegradability and origin do not guarantee chemical safety, as contaminants, processing residues, functional additives, and degradation products may introduce significant human and environ...
