Sustainable Plastics: Environmental Assessments of Biobased, Biodegradable, and Recycled Plastics provides a comprehensive overview of sustainability issues in the plastics industry, with a particular focus on the environmental assessment of biobased, biodegradable, and recycled plastics. The book introduces the fundamental concepts of sustainable development, green chemistry, green engineering, and life cycle assessment (LCA), while examining the environmental challenges associated with plastic waste. It evaluates the properties, environmental performance, and potential applications of biobased polymers, biodegradable polymers, and recycled petroleum-based plastics. The book also discusses end-of-life management options for plastics, the development of sustainable plastic products, standards for biobased and biodegradable polymeric materials, sustainable strategies for plastics manufacturers, and future trends in sustainable plastics. This book serves as a valuable reference for students, engineers, researchers, and professionals in the fields of polymer science, materials engineering, environmental science, and plastics technology.
