Title: A Review on Plasticizers and Eco-Friendly
Bioplasticizers such as epoxidized plant oils, cardanol, citrates and Isorbide esters are derived from further modifications of oils and triglyceride, starch and cellulose, citric acids and...
- What are eco-friendly plastic additives?
- Furthermore, this review explores recent advancements in eco-friendly plastic additives, including bio-based plasticizers, flame retardants, antioxidants, and environmentally friendly non-biobased additives. It highlights their potential as alternatives to traditional additives.
- What are green plastic additives?
- Typically, green plastic additives can be classified into two main categories based on their origin: bio-based and non-bio-based (Fig. 3). Bio-based additives are derived from renewable biological sources, such as plants or biomass. These additives are often biodegradable and can reduce the carbon footprint associated with plastic production.
- Are environmentally friendly additives the future of the plastic industry?
- In conclusion, while environmentally friendly additives have opened new paths for the green development of the plastic industry, realizing their full potential requires overcoming multiple hurdles such as cost control, supply chain optimization, and market education.
- What are plastic additives?
- Plastic additives, a class of processing materials, facilitate manufacturing by imparting desired properties to plastic polymers. These additives are detected in varying proportions, and most are not chemically bonded to the polymer chain .
- Are non-biobased additives sustainable?
- Non-biobased additives In recent years, significant progress has been made in developing environmentally friendly, non-biobased additives, particularly in the areas of green plasticizers and flame retardants, offering sustainable alternatives to traditional compounds. One category of sustainable plasticizers includes succinate compounds.
- What are organic additives in plastic?
- Common organic additives in plastics Plastic products incorporate over 10,000 chemicals, and 2400 identified as harmful to marine and terrestrial biota [16, 17]. These additives serve various purposes, such as enhancing functionality and extending the service life of plastic products.
