Brazil is the world's top position in the beef production (14.3% of the world herd) and the fourth position in pork and poultry production. Salmonellosis is one of the main health problems in farms. The indiscriminate use of antibiotics during the breeding of these animals has been increasing the number of multiresistant Salmonella, which represents a serious threat to humans through the …
The search for high-performance and low-cost materials makes polymers increasingly present in the manufacturing industry and in the daily lives of consumers. Its applicability extends to several market segments, among which the automotive, textile and especially food packaging industries stand out. Linked to the exponential growth of consumption is the generation of waste, and although pl…
Increasing concerns over the environmental impact of plastic single-use packaging have reached a critical juncture. Most recently, Mumbai-one the largest city in India-implemented a ban on single-use plastic bags, plastic cups and plastic bottles, with a stiff penalty of fine (5000 rupee) or up to three months in jail for those vendors caught selling these products. From a corporate initi…
In this project, initially the clarified polypropylene will be contaminated with a series of contaminants stipulated by FDA. After that the samples will be recovered and reprocessed by extrusion. Different chemical structures of a-C:H thin films (diamond like carbon and polymer like carbon) are evaluated as functional barrier. The thin films will be deposited by Plasma Enhanced Chemical V…

The accumulation of textile waste in the environment has become a growing concern in recent years. The use of mixed fabrics, made up of natural and synthetic fibers, is one of the main factors exacerbating this problem. However, the mechanical recycling of cotton/polyester fabrics faces major challenges due to the incompatible thermal properties of these materials. To mitigate this proble…
Since the introduction of plastics in many industrial segments, its consumer market has been exponentially growing. However, solid waste generation associated with plastics consumption grows proportionally, as well as the demand for raw material from fossil origins. Having said that, polymer recycling represents an important approach to the maintenance of environmental, energetic and econ…
The fabric left over from the textile industry, mainly related to clothing, is a growing environmental and economic problem. On a global scale, in 2015, 92 million tons of fabric were discarded and it is expected that in 2030 this number will increase to 148 million tons. Concomitantly with consumption, there is the disposal that occurs in landfills, by incineration for conversion into en…

The population search for products of natural origin has increased every day, which ended up helping the increase in research involving the use of natural polymers. An example of this is the concern with the type of material used in the production of food packaging, to be able to meet consumer demand for products with superior qualities, with more safety and with longer shelf life. Based …
The concern with the generation and disposal of waste inappropriately is contemporary to society, resulting in the search for alternatives to mitigate its impacts. Data from 2021 indicate that the Brazilian textile industry produced 170,000 tons of waste annually, of which 80% was sent to landfills and dumps. The low recycling rate for this type of waste is due, among several aspects, to …
The growing use of commodities polymers for use in packaging with quick disposal and low biodegradability is responsible for a scenario of increasing waste generation. International regulatory agencies already predict the use of recycled plastic materials in packaging will become increasingly imperative, which will require reuse and recycling needs, greater quality purity control, and pol…
