Scientists have achieved a breakthrough in plastic sustainability by developing a simple chemical process that transforms widely used plastics into rapidly degrading materials, offering new hope in ...

An in-depth look at the design factors influencing MBBR performance, such as L:W ratio, media type, HRT, and aeration rate. Moving bed biofilm reactors (MBBRs) are a specific type of biological ...

ABSTRACT: Traditional reconstituted tobacco production is often limited by a monotonous flavor profile and insufficient utilization of natural components. Biotechnology, known for its green, efficient ...

Biodegradation is an important natural process during oil spill cleanup. A new study revealed that using spill treating agents does not negatively impact naturally occurring biodegradation. Using ...

White rot fungi produce oxidative and reductive enzymes, which are very important to the ecology of tropical forests and act on the degradation of all types of ligninolytic and cellulosic wastes.

Pollution affects human health and the environment in many ways. Air, water, and land pollution continue to damage ecosystems, with conventional materials—especially plastics—being a primary ...

Learn how wastewater systems remove total nitrogen and total phosphorus from wastewater streams to create clean water that can be discharged safely into the environment. According to the U.S.

Microfiber pollution is a growing environmental concern, especially with synthetics making up 57% of global fiber production. These fibers contribute to microplastics in our oceans and even our food.

Every year, 400 million tons of plastic products are produced worldwide, half of which are single-use items discarded within a year. In particular, non-biodegradable plastic waste, which takes over ...

The term "biodegradable plastics" refers to plastics that can be broken down by microorganisms naturally present in the environment, such as bacteria, fungi, or algae. These plastics offer a ...
