Biotransformation of Phthalate Plasticizers and Bisphenol A
Bisphenol A, both an extensively used plastic additive and prominent environmental xenoestrogen, was included as a reference compound due to its well-documented fungal degradation. Partial pathways of DBP metabolization by the ecophysiologically diverse asco- and basidiomycete strains tested were proposed with the help of UPLC-QTOF-MS analysis.
Title: A Review on Plasticizers and Eco-Friendly
Bioplasticizers are derived mainly from biomass sources including agricultural products, it’s by-products and waste. Regardless of the biomass source, ideal bioplasticizers are expected to be...
Evaluation of some eco‐friendly plasticizers for PLA films
ABSTRACT This study was conducted as a first step in order to obtain green materials for food packaging by using an eco-friendly bioplastic, polylactic acid (PLA), and nontoxic plasticizers.

Identification and quantification of plasticizers, bisphenol
In this study, 18 plasticizer (phthalates, adipates, sebacates, and others) residues in sixteen medicines available in Tunisian pharmaceutical markets are evaluated by MSPD combined with GC-MS. In parallel, in this research, UPLC-MS/MS technique was performed to detect bisphenol A, and cadmium, lead, chromium, cobalt, nickel, mercury, selenium, and arsenic levels were determined by ICP-MS. The
- 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.
- Are plasticizers eco-friendly?
- This novel plasticizer also offered the benefits of minimal toxicity and limited migration, making it a suitable eco-friendly option. In addition to plasticizers, non-biobased green flame retardants have garnered attention for their potential to enhance fire resistance in plastic materials.
- 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 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 biobased plasticizers safe?
- Biobased plasticizers, (66−68) such as soyabean oil, castor oil (as examples provide in previous paragraph), cardanol, and isosorbide, can provide safe alternatives based on their hypotoxicity, renewability, degradability, and plasticizing performances. (68) Preventing regrettable substitutions is a considerable challenge for scientists globally.
- Are bio-based plasticizers effective in enhancing plastic characteristics?
- Current research has shown promising results, many kinds of bio-based plasticizers has been verified effective in enhancing plastic characteristics. However, more studies are needed to understand the long-term effects and compatibility of these plasticizers with various polymer matrices.
