This study explores the implications of plastic waste and recycling management on
recyclates for manufacturing clean-energy harvesting devices. The focus is on a …

Using biobased plastics has the potential to avoid fossil resource depletion and fossil CO 2
emissions. Polylactic acid (PLA) is a fast-growing bio-based plastic made from fermented …

7000 years ago, miswak fiber (MF) was used as a toothbrush for oral care. However, since
the emergence of plastic materials, it monopolized the oral care industry. The increment of …

Polylactide acid (PLA) is one of the most used plastics in extrusion-based additive
manufacturing (AM). Although it is bio-based and in theory biodegradable, its recyclability for …

In this work, we analyse the thermal aging effects on the thermo-mechanical properties of
bio-based specimens realized using fused deposition modelling technology. For the …

Finishing coatings in the wood-based composites industry not only influence the final
appearance of the product but also serve to protect against fungi and molds and reduce the …

In the present study investigations were made on the effect of multi-stage recycling/recycling
cycles and recycled material strength for five different polylactic acid (PLA) composite …

The crisis of plastic waste highlights the urgent need for sustainable alternatives. Bioplastics
are seen as a potential solution; however, challenges persist as many are still derived from …

Plastics industry is growing day by day; the new techniques generated by the fourth
industrial revolution, such as additive manufacturing (AM) or better known as 3D printing …

The environmental issue derived from petroleum-based plastic has brought wide attention
on biodegradable plastic. The enforcement of new regulation on the requirement of …
