Poly (lactic acid) (PLA) is a promising candidate, with many studies and commercial availability, among biodegradable polymers; which are constantly on the spotlight nowadays due to environmental issues. However, the application of PLA on foaming has some hindrances as its low melt strength and melt elasticity. Several strategies are approached to overcome the problem, such as chemical mo…

The use of polymers to make mulching films in agriculture has grown in recent decades due to the advantages they bring during cultivation, including maintaining soil moisture and temperature, eliminating weeds and improving the use of fertilizers, among others. In most cases, they are made from polyethylene, which is inexpensive and meets the product's requirements. However, they degrade …
Concern for the environment and the search for sustainable practices have become global imperatives. In this context, recycling and the use of biodegradable polymers are emerging as promising solutions to mitigate the negative impacts of petroleum-based plastic waste that accumulates in landfills. Among the main biodegradable polymers currently being studied, poly(butylene succinate) (PBS…
The current pace of production and consumption of plastic products brings environmental problems at various points in the production line, from the unrestrained extraction of non-renewable resources, such as oil, to the improper disposal of products and, in many cases, non-recyclability. In this scenario, the concept of circular economies emerges to replace linear production chains, withi…
The PLA is an eco-friendly polymer known for its good mechanical performance. Therefore, it is an excellent candidate for the replacement of polluting commodity polymers. The high price of PLA prevents it from occupying a more important role in the market. This issue can be solved reinforcing the PLA with natural fibers that increase their mechanical properties and reduce its cost, making…
The increasing request for the use of sustainable packaging has driven developments in the area of biodegradable polymers. Such requests are due to the fact that these materials are usually used just once, which generates a large amount of waste. Among the biodegradable polymers, thermoplastic starch is the most important, mainly because it comes from natural and abundant sources. However…
