Natural and anthropogenic sources of metals in the ecosystem are perpetually increasing;
consequently, heavy metal (HM) accumulation has become a major environmental concern …

The environmental impact associated with fossil fuel-based polymers has paved the way to
explore biopolymer-based plastics, their properties, and their applications. Bioplastics are …

The global production and consumption of plastics, as well as their deposition in the
environment, are experiencing exponential growth. In addition, mismanaged plastic waste …

Plastic pollution is currently one of the environmental pollution issues of global concern, and
microplastics (plastics with a size≤ 5 mm) have also attracted much attention due to their …

Plants, animals, bacteria, and food waste are subjects of intensive research, as they are
biological sources for the production of biopolymers. The topic links to global challenges …

Decades of extensive and exponentially growing production and use of conventional
plastics have led to the accumulation of plastic waste in the environment, contributing to the …

The growing potential of sustainable materials such as polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs),
polylactic acid (PLA), alginate, carrageenan, and ulvan for bioplastics production presents …

In this comprehensive review, we delve into the challenges hindering the large-scale
production of microalgae-based bioplastics, primarily focusing on economic feasibility and …

Chemical separation technologies such as water purification, gas separation, and solvent
recovery have increasingly adopted membrane-based methods for their efficiency and …

In this work, we performed green processing of Couroupita guianensis carbon nanoparticle
(CNPs). The plants of Couroupita guianensis have been carbonized at successive …
