Excessive accumulation of rubber waste necessitates the need to revisit the effectiveness of
the existing rubber waste management system. This review provides an overview of the …

With rapid industrialization, enormous amounts of wastewater have been released from the
rubber industry into the environment from different industrial processes such as latex …

Eleven effective low-density polyethylene (LDPE)-degrading bacterial strains were isolated
and identified from landfill soil containing large amounts of plastic materials. The isolates …

Regarded as a strategically crucial material, natural rubber (NR) plays an essential role in
our daily life. However, the corresponding rubber products have been facing the problem of …

Abstract Poly (cis-1, 4-isoprene) rubber is a highly demanded elastomeric material mainly
used for the manufacturing of tires. The end-cycle of rubber-made products is creating …

Molecular modeling techniques have become indispensable in many fields of molecular
sciences in which the details related to mechanisms and reactivity need to be studied at an …

Background Biodegradation of rubber (polyisoprene) is initiated by oxidative cleavage of the
polyisoprene backbone and is performed either by an extracellular rubber oxygenase …

Abstract Natural rubber (NR), poly (cis-1, 4-isoprene), is used in an industrial scale for more
than 100 years. Most of the NR-derived materials are released to the environment as waste …

Specific polyisoprene-cleaving activities of 1.5 U/mg and 4.6 U/mg were determined for
purified Strep-tagged latex clearing protein (Lcp) of Streptomyces sp. strain K30 at 23° C …

The disposal of discarded vulcanized natural rubber waste has presented substantial
environmental challenges. This study aimed to investigate the degradation of vulcanized …
