Biocomposites: A review of materials and perception

T. Manu et al.

Summary: With the increasing global attention on sustainability, biocomposites have been considered as a solution, but their tangible outcomes in terms of impactful raw materials are limited. Consumer confusion caused by a wide range of bio-degradation standards and inconsistent use of 'eco' terms contribute to the lack of widespread acceptance for biocomposites. To improve their desirability and distinguishability, modifying the physical characteristics and perceptual attributes associated with biocomposites is proposed.

Poly(hydroxyalkanoates): Production, Applications and End-of-Life Strategies-Life Cycle Assessment Nexus

Joseph Kinyanjui Muiruri et al.

Summary: The excessive production and consumption of oil-based plastics are major contributors to global warming and increased carbon footprint. The majority of plastic waste ends up in the oceans, accounting for about 80% of marine debris. To address this pollution problem, a shift towards eco-friendly and marine-biodegradable plastics is necessary, with polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) standing out as the best choice due to their ability to degrade in soil and marine environments. PHAs are also favored for their biocompatibility, structural variety, and similarity to conventional plastics in terms of physical properties. This article comprehensively explores the production, applications, and recycling strategies of PHA plastics, as well as the impact of end-of-life strategies and life cycle assessment (LCA) on the environment.
