Chemical recycling of plastic waste has promise as a complementary technology to increase eco-efficiency plastics life cycles. Accumulation impurities in feed streams can affect sensitive compounds such the Ziegler–Natta catalyst systems commonly used produce polyolefins high density polyethylene (HDPE) and linear low (LLDPE). In poison study, influence impurities—more specifically NO N2O—on sy...

Utilizing oxo-degradable additives is an alternate, efficient method of managing plastic trash. To prepare the polymer chain for microorganisms to break down fragments over time, oxo-degradation plastics involves breaking into small pieces. In this study, a film with thickness 35 µm created by mixing mixture linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE) and d2w grade master batch (pro-oxidant). This ...

The ubiquity of plastic debris in marine environments raises the question, what impacts do plastics have on our microbiota? To investigate this, we applied bacterial 16S rRNA gene and fungal ITS2 region sequencing to identify changes microbial biofilm community compositions plastic, over time. We sampled virgin linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE), nylon-6 (PA) glass after 2, 6 12 weeks cons...
