The rapid growth in the production and application of plastic globally has resulted in plastic pollution with a negative impact on the environment, especially the marine ecosystem. One main disadvantage in the majority of polymers is disposal after a useful life span. Non-degradable polymers create severe difficulty in plastic waste management that might end up in landfills or wash into the ocean. The biodegradation of plastic waste is one solution to this critical problem of pollution. Hence, there is a need to consider the advancement of research in this subject area, in pursuit of a way out of plastic pollution. Thus, this study was designed to map the biodegradation of plastic-related research from 2000 to 2021. Statistical information on the topic was recovered from the Web of Science Core Collection and analysed using the bibliometrix package in RStudio statistical software, while data visualisation was conducted via VOSviewer. Our evaluation indicated that the amount of research on the biodegradation of plastic increased over the last decade, and the annual growth rate of publication trends was 11.84%. The study revealed that 1131 authors wrote the 290 analysed documents, with a collaboration index of 4.04. Cooper DG (n = 11) was the most relevant author, McGill University (n = 21) was the most active university, and the Journal of Polymers and the Environment (n = 19) the leading journal. The outcome of this study can guide prospective research and offer vital information for improving the management of plastic waste.

“…Co-occurrence analysis may be used to pinpoint current issues and directions so that researchers can track the development of scientific programmes and research (Gao et al, 2017). These keywords represent the academic community's concentration on the topic during the past two decades, and different researchers have used them to determine the best course of study in a particular area (Simões et al, 2021). The number of times the labels' size and circles show keywords is given in Figure 12.…”

The use of bioplastics as a potential remedy for the problems caused by plastic pollution is gaining the attention of researchers and policy makers globally. Bioplastics are regarded as sustainable and valuable in several industries, particularly food packaging sector. In this context, the paper aims to evaluate the literature on bio-plastics research in India at the institutional level to determine correlations through a scientometric analysis. In doing so, a total of 1705 publications were extracted from the Web of Science database for the period between 2000 and 2021.The study results showed that sustainable plastics had gained the attention of the research community, with an upturn in publication from 2010 onwards. Furthermore, the study constructed a thematic map which indicates rising research trends in bioplastics are moving towards technologies for the food packaging sector. The study findings highlight the future research trend on bioplastics and provide meaningful information for sustainable food packaging in India.

“…Bibliometric studies have been conducted on WW treatment/management in general [20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27]. Some studies focused specifically on processes such as advanced oxidation [28][29][30][31][32][33], coagulation [34] and direct osmosis [35]. However, many of the treatments use chemicals that cause damage to the environment; they are expensive and ineffective [36].…”

Environmentally Friendly Technologies for Wastewater Treatment in Food Processing Plants: A Bibliometric Analysis

et al. 2022

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Currently, the population is experiencing severe water stress mainly due to high water consumption by industries. Food and beverage processing consumes up to 90% of freshwater, resulting in large volumes of wastewater that is often treated with complex, costly and environmentally damaging processes. The purpose of this study is to perform the first bibliometric analysis to evaluate and discuss the evolution in the use of environmentally friendly technologies for wastewater treatment in food processing plants. A total of 606 documents published up to August 2022 were retrieved from Scopus. Data were manually standardized. VOSviewer version 1.5.18 and Bibliometrix version 4.0.0 were used to perform scientific mapping and evaluate bibliometric indicators of quantity, quality and structure. Scientific production is growing exponentially due to factors such as strict environmental policies and increased environmental awareness. The average number of authors per document is 4.056 and prolific authors in the field have not yet been defined. The contribution of the countries (led by the United States with 104 documents) was associated with their gross domestic product (GDP), level of trade and industrialization. Likewise, institutions from China (third place with 70 documents) have the highest contribution in the field. On the other hand, most of the journals where the documents were published are of high quality according to different metrics. According to the most influential articles, the frequency of keywords and their dynamics over time, the use of microalgae, microorganisms and plants for the treatment of effluents generated during food processing is the main trend. The processes also focus on the recovery or recycling of compounds of interest in wastewater such as phosphorus, nitrogen and carbon to contribute to the circular economy.
