Progress in the solvent depolymerization of lignin
A recent report from the journal ‘Science’ predicted that even with the most effective interventions, 710 million tons of waste plastics would enter the oceans by 2040. This amount is 5 times the plastic that is already dumped in the oceans.
Although it is still debatable whether bioplastics are the solution to this problem, the efforts for creating biodegradable plastics from agricultural residue are accelerating throughout the world.
We reviewed such efforts in this article after going through 237 research studies that tried to make precursors for sustainable bioplastics using plant-based materials.
The efforts were worth it after we found out some new patterns in the existing data that were ignored before…
