Authors: Sameh Samir Ali, Esraa A. Abdelkarim, Tamer Elsamahy, Rania Al-Tohamy, Fanghua Li, Antonio Zuorro, Daochen Zhu, Jianzhong Sun,

Journal: Environmental Science and Ecotechnology

Our Summary:

Through a literature review of articles on bioplastics, the study highlights that the recycling of both plastics and bioplastics could potentially lead to an increase in environmental impacts instead of a decrease. The article emphasizes the significance of incorporating multiple impact categories into the LCA when assessing bioplastics as a material to support the circular economy. The authors suggest that more research is necessary to fully comprehend the potential of bioplastics, considering the impacts, harmonization, and methodological enhancements of LCA.
