1. Handbook of Biodegradable Polymers

Author

Catia Bastioli and Catia Bastioli

Subjects
Plastics--Biodegradation, Biodegradable plastics
Abstract

This handbook covers characteristics, processability and application areas of biodegradable polymers, with key polymer family groups discussed. It explores the role of biodegradable polymers in different waste management practices including anaerobic digestion, and considers topics such as the different types of biorefineries for renewable monomers used in producing the building blocks for biodegradable polymers.

3. Polyhydroxyalkanoates From Palm Oil: Biodegradable Plastics

Author

Kumar Sudesh and Kumar Sudesh

Subjects
Biodegradable plastics, Poly-beta-hydroxyalkanoates
Abstract

The environmental problems caused by petroleum-based plastic and plastic waste have led to an increasing demand for biobased and biodegradable plastics, such as polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs). These polyesters are synthesized from carbon sources, e.g. sugar and plant oils, by various bacteria. This book highlights the potential of plant oils, especially palm oil, as a feedstock for PHA production. In addition, new PHA applications are discussed and the sustainability of PHA production from plant oils is critically examined.
