Full Description
Plastics derived from renewable sources, such as biomass or animal-based materials, offer an eco-friendly alternative to traditional petroleum-based plastics. These bioplastics, being biobased and biodegradable, hold great promise in reducing reliance on fossil fuels and mitigating plastic pollution. However, additives play a crucial role in enhancing the properties of bioplastics, improving flexibility, durability, and overall performance. While some additives facilitate biodegradation, others - such as phthalates, bisphenol A (BPA), and brominated compounds - can release harmful substances upon breakdown, posing risks to soil and water quality. This book offers a comprehensive understanding of bioplastic compositions, degradation processes, and the environmental impact of various additives. Through detailed life cycle analyses, it assesses how bioplastic additives compare to conventional plastic additives in terms of sustainability and ecological impact. The book also addresses the challenges of managing bioplastic waste, including recycling limitations and the lack of standardized disposal methods.
Key Features:
• In- depth analysis of bioplastic compositions, degradation processes, and additive functions
• Comparative life cycle assessment of bioplastic and conventional plastic additives
• Examination of the environmental impact of bioplastic additives on soil, wildlife, and water quality
• Discussion on innovative waste management and recycling strategies for bioplastics
• Exploration of policy frameworks, public awareness initiatives, and case studies promoting sustainable bioplastic usage
Designed to address the knowledge gap in bioplastic additive research, this book is an essential resource for researchers, policymakers, industry professionals, and environmental enthusiasts. It bridges the gap between scientific understanding and practical implementation, empowering stakeholders to make informed decisions and contribute to sustainable bioplastic waste management.
