Title: A Review on Plasticizers and Eco-Friendly
Plasticizers are chemical additives added into polymers to influence desirable mechanical properties such as processability and ductility. These properties are a result of the association of...
Chemistry can help make plastics sustainable — but it isn’t
The main obstacle to improved plastics recycling is how to break the chemical bonds in a systematic and low-energy way to recover valuable materials that can then be used to make equally high
Evaluation of some eco‐friendly plasticizers for PLA films
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.
Mechanical, chemical, and bio-recycling of biodegradable
Mechanical recycling is an eco-friendly process that requires low investment and is relatively simple to set up and apply; therefore, it has gained significant attention for the recycling of biopolymers. Mechanical recycling involves many steps, including the collection, separation, sorting, cleaning, drying, and grinding of waste (Fig. 6

- Are plastics biodegradable?
- From the viewpoint of post-use impacts, plastics with biodegradability in both soil and ocean are introduced from Category 3. These are required to have biodegradable functions in the soil and the ocean if they are leaked into the natural environment.
- Does Japan support the introduction of bioplastics?
- To strongly support actions for bioplastics introduction, measures by the government of Japan are stated. the production of bioplastics for expanding the range of supply sources in Japan. among related entities.
- Can bioplastics be recycled?
- There must be no adverse effects when bioplastics are mixed into the recycling process. Category 2, which contributes to reducing greenhouse gas emissions, is introduced. There must be no inhibition of energy recovery.
