11. In vitro and in vivo studies on the toxicology of di-n-butyl phthalate (DBP) : Effects on reproductive, endocrine, and immune systems
Sammanfattning : Chemical pollution is an increasing societal problem and has a major impact on human and environmental health. One important source of chemical pollution is plastic, which contains many different compounds with often largely unknown hazards. LÄS MER
12. Design of Cellulose-Based Materials via Sustainable and Scalable Processes
Sammanfattning : Plastic pollution is one of the most pressing environmental issues in today’s world. Addressing this problem calls for the development of environmentally friendly alternatives that would reduce the amount of persistent plastic waste. LÄS MER
13. Oxidation of Kraft Pulp Fibres - Hydrogen Peroxide Oxidation under Acidic Conditions and its Influence on the Properties of Pulp
Sammanfattning : An increase in the use of bio-based products, combined with a decrease in the use of fossil-based products, is important for fulfilling the demands of a growing population in a sustainable manner. Moreover, reducing the usage of single-use plastics is vital in combating the plastic pollution that is afflicting our environment. LÄS MER
14. Volatile Fatty Acids as a Key to Sustainability and Circularity in Polyhydroxyalkanoates Production
Sammanfattning : The negative consequences of plastic pollution on both environmental and socio-economic aspects have motivated the development of sustainable and renewable materials to replace the petroleum-based plastic. Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs), which are bioplastics, having an outstanding biodegradability and rather comparable thermal and mechanical properties, are potential alternatives for the replacement of conventional plastics.

15. Fruit wastes to biomaterials : Development of biofilms and 3D objects in a circular economy system
Sammanfattning : To address the current plastic pollution problem, the replacement of conventional plastics with bioplastics can be considered. Although the land use of crop cultivation for bioplastics is still negligible, there is an increasing interest in the utilisation of lignocellulosic waste products for the production of bioplastics.
