Roadmap to Biodegradable Plastics-Current State and Research Needs

Koushik Ghosh et al.

Summary: Plastics, though ubiquitous in daily life and environment, require consideration for their impact on the ecological milieu. While biodegradable plastics offer appeal in returning carbon to ecosystems, they have yet to replace conventional plastics commercially, necessitating collaboration for success.

Biodegradable Plastics: Standards, Policies, and Impacts

Layla Filiciotto et al.

Summary: Plastics are everywhere and have both improved our lives and posed threats to the environment and health. Biodegradable plastics offer a solution to reduce climate change, microplastics, and littering issues. However, they still make up a small portion of the global plastics market and require more research and commercialization efforts.
