Abstract:
Plastics has been an integral part of our lives for the last century as the main material for various useful commodity items. Irony of fate, the same specific properties that make plastics ideal to create such a wide range of products are also responsible for the present dramatic environmental pollution. What suggestions do the technological innovations currently suggest to solve this worldwide problem? Among the others, one is to replace the traditional plastics with alternative materials derived from non-oil polymers capable of being degraded in months and not in years or centuries. But the research in this field is relatively new and undoubtedly there are still developments that need to be made. Thus, we must be aware that the plastic age is at sunset and the bio-plastics sun is just rising on the horizon.

Abstract:
The increasing threats of plastics to the natural environment encouraged the production of bio-plastics from renewable biomass resources. The premium quality of bio-plastics are mainly produced by treating starch with glycerol. Plastics are basically non-biodegradable synthetic or semi synthetic products. This study aims at analyzing the degradation patterns of bio-plastics. The bio-plastics are ecologically less toxic than the synthetic plastic materials. The bio-plastics can degrade in several environmental conditions including aquatic environment, compost and soil. The bioplastic materials are buried in composite soil or loam sand to analyze degradation activity by taking photographic data and measuring the weight. Effect of weather conditions on the degradation activity was analyzed by recording different weather conditions including temperature, humidity, rainfall sunshine intensity and duration of sunlight. The comparative results portrayed the degradation activity of bio-plastics which was accomplished through hydrophilic enzymes. The initial regenerating material absorbs moisture of soil after saturation and the weight was increased up to 87%. The weight of bio-plastics reduced steadily after the initiation of decomposition. Invasion of soil microorganisms enhance the degradation activity. The environmental features including rainfall, humidity and sunlight intensity also affects the disintegration of bioplastics. The increased intensity of sunshine increased the microbial activity of soil which in turn increased the rate of degradation of bio-plastics.

Abstract: Bio-plastic is a significant role in our ecosystem as it is eco-friendly and compatible, when matched to plastic carry bags. Bio-plastic are produced by organic waste in environment and it degrading faster than plastic which was made of chain of polymers. Plastic made our environment poisonous, aquatic animals to die and many more. Environmental friendly plastic is made of many organic wastes like banana peel, sugarcane bagasse, newspaper, shrimps etc. Bio-plastic mostly utilised in food packaging so that they are edible to humans and doesn’t cause any disease and disintegrates fast. Bio-plastic is helpful to mankind and useful to reduce environmental pollution. Bio-plastics are not affected to nature ecosystem because it can changes back into carbon dioxide. The plastics are substituted by number of varieties of bio-plastics. In this research paper chiefly discussed on utilization of substrates like vegetable waste, fruit and green leaves including water hyacinth as alternate substrate as bio- plastics. Market demand for bio-plastic is developing due to consumer-friendly products. It is less related with conventional plastics production than other bio-plastics. Keywords: bio-plastic, environmental friendly, organic substance.

Abstract:
In recent years, an increasing trend towards replacement of conventional fossil-based plastics with bio-based plastics was noticed, i.e., production of plastics partly or fully made from biomass is rapidly expanding. Currently, bio-based and biodegradable plastics have a very small market size, approximately only 1% of all plastics produced. However, the forecast of the global bioplastics production capacities predicts an increase from approximately 2.417 million tonnes in 2021 to approximately 7.593 million tonnes in 2026, more than three times the current capacity. Therefore, it is necessary to assess the challenges and identify the barriers for bio-based and biodegradable plastics for waste management and to evaluate the effectiveness of current plastic waste management strategies for the efficient waste management of bio-based and biodegradable plastics. The main barriers and motivators of the biodegradable and biodegradable plastics market that have been identified include macroeconomic factors, regulatory factors, technological factors, and social factors. The bio-based and biodegradable plastics have to be separately collected and treated under mostly controlled, regulated conditions. However, currently, there are no legal provisions providing for the separate collection of bio-based plastics, leading to their disposal with either hazardous waste, conventional plastics, or municipal waste. Since the effective plastic waste management strategy relates to good performance in each step of the waste management process, bio-based and biodegradable plastic waste management could, therefore, be based on an effective strategy for the management of plastic waste. However, there is a need for standardizing waste collection systems and creating a harmonized waste collection infrastructure, which would lead to effective sorting of bio-based plastic waste.

Abstract:
In recent year, there has been increasing concern about the growing amount of plastic waste coming from daily life. Different kinds of synthetic plastics are currently used for an extensive range of needs, but in order to reduce the impact of petroleum-based plastics and material waste, considerable attention has been focused on “green” plastics. In this paper, we present a broad review on the advances in the research and development of bio-based polymers analogous to petroleum-derived ones. The main interest for the development of bio-based materials is the strong public concern about waste, pollution and carbon footprint. The sustainability of those polymers, for general and specific applications, is driven by the great progress in the processing technologies that refine biomass feedstocks in order to obtain bio-based monomers that are used as building blocks. At the same time, thanks to the industrial progress, it is possible to obtain more versatile and specific chemical structures in order to synthetize polymers with ad-hoc tailored properties and functionalities, with engineering applications that include packaging but also durable and electronic goods. In particular, three types of polymers were described in this review: Bio-polyethylene (Bio-PE), bio-polypropylene (Bio-PP) and Bio-poly(ethylene terephthalate) (Bio-PET). The recent advances in their development in terms of processing technologies, product development and applications, as well as their advantages and disadvantages, are reported.

Abstract:
Transmission welding tests on different eco-sustainable materials were performed using Thulium fiber laser radiation with 2 μm wavelength. All the samples were characterized via infra-red spectroscopy and DSC. The morphology of the materials and the relations between the laser process conditions and the quality of the seam were investigated by means of optical microscopy. Mechanical strength of the weld joints were measured via tensile tests, comparing some of them with different sealing methods and/or original tensile properties of the materials. The morphology of the non-woven material especially plays an important role, compared to the continuous films, as well as the chemical nature of the samples. The experiments demonstrate new application areas of mid-IR fiber laser sources for materials processing.

Abstract:
Starch is one of the most common and easily obtained natural polymers, making it attractive as a potential bio-based alternative to synthetic polymers. The plasticisation of starch is complex due to the extensive hydrogen bonding between chains. This study shows that a simple quaternary ammonium salt combined with hydrogen bond donor (HBD) forms effective modifiers that produce flexible plastics with good mechanical properties that are comparable to some polyolefin plastics. Starch-based plastics can be formed by the same processes as current commercial plastics, giving similar mechanical strength to some polyolefin plastics. The processing conditions are shown to significantly affect the structure of the polymer which has a concomitant effect upon the mechanical and physical properties of the resulting plastic. Using a glycerol based modifier results in a totally sustainable and biodegradable material which can be formed by extrusion, pressing, vacuum forming and injection moulding. Most significantly, it is shown that these plastics are environmentally compatible, recyclable, bio-degradable and compostable. This study has demonstrated the optimisation of the parameters for a range of techniques that are currently used in processing this type of plastic. These include: temperature profiling for both compression moulding and extrusion, residence time in the extruder, drying time and pressing time. Glycerol/choline chloride is the plasticiser that was found to give optimal properties and has been used for most of this study. The optimum ratio is shown to be 1:3 by weight plasticiser: starch. In addition, five different systems of fillers have been added to the starch based plastics to study their effect on tensile strength and strain, glass transition temperature, viscoelasticity, crystallinity, morphology and rheology. The chemical changes have also been investigated after the addition of the five fillers which are eggshell, wood-flour, silk, zein and lignin. Furthermore, the fillers have an effect on stabilising water content in thermoplastic starch. Water uptake and water loss have been examined using thermogravimetric analysis, water absorption isotherms, water absorption capacity and contact angle. Finally, some applications have been presented for protecting these plastics from surrounding moisture.

Abstract:
Biomass is the world’s largest renewable energy source, accounting for approximately 10% of global primary energy supply, and 5% of energy consumed in the United States. Prominent national programs like the U.S. Renewable Fuel Standard incentivize increased use of biomass, primarily as a transportation fuel. There has been comparatively little government support for using biomass as a renewable feedstock for the chemical sector. Such asymmetry in incentives can lead to sub-optimal outcomes in the allocation of biomass toward different uses. Greenhouse gas reduction is among the most cited benefits of bioenergy and bio-based products, however, there is increasing controversy about whether increased use of biomass can actually contribute to greenhouse gas emission targets. If biomass is to play a role in current and future greenhouse gas mitigation efforts its use should be guided by efficient use of natural and economic resources. This thesis addresses these questions through a series of case studies, designed to highlight important tradeoffs in the use of biomass for greenhouse gas mitigation. Should biomass be used as a fuel, a chemical feedstock, or neither? The first case study in this thesis focuses on the ‘fuel vs feedstock’ question, examining the greenhouse gas implications of expanding the scope of the U.S. Renewable Fuel Standard to include credits for bioethylene, an important organic chemical readily produced from bioethanol. Results suggest that an expanded policy that includes bioethylene as an approved use for ethanol would provide added flexibility without compromising greenhouse gas targets – a clear win scenario. Having established that bioethylene based plastics can achieve similar greenhouse gas reductions to bioethanol used as fuel, this thesis expands the analysis by considering how the greenhouse gas emissions from a wider range of bio-based plastics compare to each of the main commodity thermoplastics produced in the U.S. The analysis demonstrates that there are large uncertainties involved in the life cycle greenhouse gas emissions from bio-based plastics, and that only a subset of pathways are likely to be preferable to conventional plastics. The following chapter then builds on the existing model to compare the greenhouse gas mitigation potential of bio-based plastics to the potential for reducing emissions by adopting low carbon energy for plastics production. That chapter concludes that switching to renewable energy across the supply chain for conventional plastics energy cuts greenhouse gas emissions by 50-75%, achieving a greater reduction, with less uncertainty and lower cost, than switching to corn-based biopolymers – the most likely near-term biopolymer option. In the long run, producing bio-based plastics from advanced feedstocks (e.g. switchgrass) and/or with renewable energy likely offers greater emission reductions. Finally, this thesis returns to the dominant form of policy surrounding biomass use: biofuel mandates. That study takes a consequential approach to the ‘fuel or neither’ question. Specifically, this work examines how petroleum refineries are likely to adjust their production in response to biofuel policies, and what this implies for the success of these policies. The research demonstrates that biofuel policies induce a shift toward greater diesel production at the expense of both gasoline and non-combustion petroleum products. This has the potential to result in an increase in greenhouse gas emissions, even before accounting for the emissions from producing the biofuels themselves.

Abstract:
Il polietilene (PE) rappresenta più del 60% di tutte le plastiche derivate dal petrolio a livello mondiale, e si sta accumulando ad un tasso di diversi milioni di tonnellate per anno a causa della sua riluttanza alla degradazione biotica e abiotica. La degradazione microbica è stata proposta come possibile strada alternativa nella riduzione dei rifiuti plastici. Lo scopo generale di questo lavoro è stata l'identificazione di ceppi batterici in grado di metabolizzare il PE e di identificare le vie metaboliche coinvolte in tale processo di biodegradazione. Abbiamo analizzato mediante approccio metagenomico diversi campioni di plastica raccolti in una discarica abbandonata, ed è stata scoperta una forte relazione tra le proprietà della plastica (inclusa la presenza di coloranti) e la comunità microbica Analizzando la comunità microbica esposta al PE nell’ ambiente, abbiamo isolato 10 ceppi batterici in grado di crescere utilizzando il PE come unica fonte di energia e di carbonio. Uno di questi ceppi, Pseudomonas aeruginosa UC4003, ha mostrato la più alta capacità di crescere in terreno minimo e polietilene. Quando cresce su PE, questo ceppo produce un enzima extracellulare, proteina-attivatore per l’ossidazione degli n-alcani (PA), coinvolto nelle prime fasi di degradazione di polietilene.<br>Plastics production, use and degradation are hot topics that have come to the forefront over recent years. Polyethylene (PE) represents more than 60% of all petroleum-derived plastics worldwide and is accumulating at rates of several millions of tons per year because of its strong recalcitrance to biotic and abiotic degradation. Microbial degradation has been proposed as a possible alternative way to reduce plastic wastes. The general aim of this work was the identification of bacterial strains able to metabolize PE and to identify the biochemical pathways of this biodegradation process. In an abandoned landfill we collected different plastic samples; using a metagenomic approach, we found a strong relationship between the plastic properties (including the presence of colorants) and the microbial community By screening the natural microbial community exposed to PE in environment, we isolated 10 bacteria which revealed the ability to grow on PE as only energy and carbon source. A bacterium, Pseudomonas aeruginosa UC4003, showed the highest growth rate in minimal salt medium and polyethylene. When grown on PE, this strain produced an extracellular enzyme, protein-like activator for n-alkane oxidation (PA), involved in the first step of polyethylene degradation.

Abstract:
L'utilisation de fibres végétales, tant dans le domaine de la plasturgie que dans celui du bâtiment, permet de réduire les émissions de gaz à effet de serre et par conséquent l'impact environnemental de l’Homme. L'intérêt envers les bio-composites utilisant des fibres végétales telles que le chanvre, le bois, le lin mais également le roseau miscanthus ne cesse d'augmenter. Il n'existe, à l'heure actuelle, que très peu de travaux s’intéressant au roseau phragmites australis. Pourtant, n'utilisant pas de surfaces cultivées, cette plante invasive est indépendante des enjeux agricoles et ne demande aucun intrant chimique. La récolte du roseau s'inscrit donc dans une démarche de gestion des zones humides tout en valorisant un matériau aux multiples propriétés. Les travaux de cette thèse sont consacrés à la caractérisation du matériau brut phragmites australis et à l’étude de son éligibilité comme matériau en substitution de trois matériaux de référence, le bois, le miscanthus et la chènevotte, largement utilisés comme renforts en plasturgie et en éco-construction. Des formulations de composites utilisant deux matrices polymères (polypropylène et polybutylène succinate) à différents taux de charges végétales et d’agent compatibilisant ont été caractérisées d’un point de vue de leurs propriétés mécaniques par des essais de traction, flexion et choc Charpy. Le vieillissement à l’eau de ces composites a également été étudié et corrélé au caractère hydrophobe du roseau. Pour le volet construction, des formulations à base de roseaux de différentes origines et utilisant différents liants (chaux aérienne, plâtre et terre) ont été testées en compression et avec des mesures de conductivité thermique afin d’évaluer le comportement du roseau en tant que matériau d’usage pour le bâtiment<br>The use of plant fibres, both in the field of plastics processing and in the building industry, makes it possible to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and therefore the environmental impact of mankind. Interest in biocomposites using plant fibres such as hemp, wood, flax and also miscanthus reed is increasing. Nowadays, there is very little work on the reed phragmites australis. However, as it does not use cultivated areas, this invasive plant is independent of agricultural issues and does not require any chemical inputs. The reed harvest is therefore part of a wetlands management approach while enhancing the value of a material with multiple properties. This work is devoted to the characterisation of the raw material phragmites australis and to the study of its eligibility as a substitute material of three reference materials, wood, miscanthus and hemp shiv, widely used as reinforcements in plastics processing and eco-construction. Composite formulations using two polymer matrices (polypropylene and polybutylene succinate) with different rates of plant fillers and coupling agent were characterised from the point of view of their mechanical properties by Charpy tensile, flexural and impact tests. The water ageing of these composites was also studied and correlated to the hydrophobic character of the reed. For the construction application, formulations based on reeds of different origins and using different binders (lime, plaster and earth) were tested in compression and with thermal conductivity measurements in order to evaluate the behaviour of the reed as a material for building use

Abstract:
Extensive quantities of apple pomace are generated annually but disposal of this waste is still much disputed. In EU alone, 500 000 tons are produced every year. Without further treatment, the acidic character of apples with their high sugar and low protein content makes the pomace unsuitable for landfilling and animal feedstock. However, further treatment is usually not economically feasible. This study addresses this issue by introducing a new approach for the apple pomace to produce sustainable materials.  The high content of sugars in apple pomace which can be reshaped and reformed at higher temperatures makes the waste material suitable for plastic production. Other components found in apple pomace are 5 % proteins and 1.5 % fats. Fibers are abundant, dietary fibers amounts for more than half (55 %) the original apple pomace weight. Phenols, sorbitol and acids can be found in minor mount, 2 % or less. The apple pomace itself is a mixture of mostly pulp and peel which corresponds to 9/10 of the total mass. Whereas seeds, seed core and stalk are the remaining 1/10. The possibilities of utilizing apple pomace to produce biofilms and 3D shapes have been investigated. The effects of introducing orange pomace, another waste material produced in extensive quantities, to apple pomace samples has also been studied.  Two methods were used to produce bioplastic materials; solution casting and compression molding. Glycerol was used as a plasticizer. Apple pomace, either washed or not washed, was oven-dried and milled into a fine powder. Using compression molding, plates or cups of the two powders with different amounts of glycerol were prepared. Mixtures of apple pomace and orange pomace, with or without glycerol, were prepared in the same way. The apple pomace was also used in a film casting method to produce plastic films. Applying laser cutting to the plates and plastic films, dog-bone specimens were created whose mechanical properties were analysed using a universal testing machine.  Highest values in terms of tensile strength and elongation at max was reached with bioplastics produced from solution casting where the values varied in the range 3.3 – 16 MPa and 11 – 55 % respectively. The compression molding approach resulted in tensile strength values in the range 0.94 – 5.9 MPa whereas the elongation at max was in the range 0.30 – 1.9 %. A possible application for this material could be disposable tableware which does not require high mechanical strength.  It was shown that it is possible to produce 3D structures and plastic films from apple pomace. Washed apple pomace with glycerol has similar properties as not washed apple pomace without the plasticizer. Adding orange pomace to apple pomace samples increases the tensile strength at the expense of the elongation at max. The pressing conditions and powder size greatly effects the mechanical properties, where a larger powder size lower the values for the mechanical properties. This new approach paves the way for a new utilization of apple pomace to replace some petroleum-based materials and at the same time solve the disposal problem of apple pomace.

Abstract:
Abstract The recent development in technology has made bio-based plastics an increasingly attractive alternative to petroleum-based plastics to tackle plastic pollution. However, currently, bio-based plastics have not been widely adopted in the design and manufacturing of new products. To advocate the use of bio-based plastics, this paper proposes two visualization-based tools to educate designers and engineers about the availabilities and the properties of different bio-based plastics. After analyzing the literature on visual tools for sustainable design and material selection, two new prototype tools for screening bio-plastic alternatives are designed with the advice and support of the engineers of a major U.S. manufacturer of agricultural equipment. Surveys and focus groups with the manufacturer’s engineers are conducted to improve the tools, and a first case study is completed to examine their usefulness.

Abstract:
A proposal of design of comminution set-up for plastics and organic materials has been presented. Some methods using modelling for optimisation and development of the comminution devices construction for plastics-, bio- and fibre as non-brittle materials (waste) has been mentioned too. The set-up take into consideration two beings: mathematically and design modelling. The common set is composed of characteristics, structure, relationships, effectiveness and progress of the machinery engineering, e.g. breaking up in the plastics-, bio- and fibres waste recycling process. We have been paid special attention to refining stage in stock preparation which plays an important role in developing the properties of stock for paper production. We would like to present some innovation of grinding systems: granulation, comminution and grinding where research, development and knowledge-based robots applications — in this field — have crucial importance from the point of view of process improvement and final product quality.

Abstract:
Birch tree barks are regarded as waste in the pulp and papermaking industry and used as fuel. However, this material presents a source that contains many bio-based chemicals suitable for applications ranging from pharmaceuticals, plastics and composites, coatings, and antifeedants. Among the mixture of bio-derived chemicals in birch barks, triterpenoids, such as betulin, betulinic acid, and lupeol, can be present up to 30% weight of dry bark mass. They are highly valued for their anti-tumor, HIV, and inflammatory responses. In our presented work, triterpenoid mixtures were extracted through a Soxhlet extractor using the barks from locally sourced river birch trees (Betula nigra) with an average yield of 10.6% (dry bark mass). The extracted materials were characterized using the Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR), Advanced Polymer Chromatography (APC), High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC), and hydroxyl number titration to assess the identity, average molecular weight, triterpenoid content, and the number of reactive sites, respectively. The extracts have been used to synthesize bio-based polymers with promising thermal and mechanical properties using minimal processing steps. Birch bark extract naturally contains many potential reactive sites and thus making it advantageous for synthesizing polymers without requiring multiple purification steps. We demonstrate the potentials for increasing the utility of birch bark, contributing to sustainability challenges in materials science and engineering.
