Microplastics contamination is becoming a major concern worldwide. More than 1 million
seabirds and 100,000 sea animals have died due to plastic contamination. In addition …

With increasing usage of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) wastes polluting the oceans and
environment, the recycling of PET wastes has become a crucial issue to be overcome. In this …

Polyolefins, the largest used commodity plastics in the world, find extensive application in
many fields. However, most end up in landfills or incineration, leading to severe ecological …

The increasing amount of marine plastic waste poses challenges including, not only the
collection, but also the subsequent recyclability of the plastic. An artificial accelerated …

The global environmental issues caused by plastic incineration are continuously increasing,
along with the demand for polyethylene terephthalate (PET)—27 million metric tons of PET …

The growing worldwide population is directly responsible for the increased production and
consumption of textile products. One of the key reasons for the generation of microfibers is …

Fibrous microplastics (FMPs) are ubiquitous worldwide, existing from lands to oceans and
from surface waters to sediments. Ingestion and toxic effects of FMPs have been detected in …

The recyclability of opaque PET, which contains TiO2 nanoparticles, has not been as well-
studied as that of transparent PET. The objective of this work is to recycle post-consumer …

The increase in the global population is directly responsible for the acceleration in the
production as well as the consumption of textile products. The use of textiles and garment …

As one of the most promising biodegradable materials, poly (lactic acid)(PLA) is seriously
restricted by its notorious inherent brittleness and weak heat distortion resistance. In this …
