Pollutants can cause pollution and poisoning of biotic components in a natural ecosystem in dangerous compounds such as hydrocarbons, mercury, ammonium nitrogen, and difficult-to-degrade plastics. Therefore, bioremediation is used to manage and control pollutants through bacteria. This article provides an overview of the latest information regarding bacteria as bioremediation agents and the technology's mechanisms. The method used is qualitative data breakdown by observing and drawing conclusions in the journal to examine the role of bacteria as bioremediation agents for harmful pollutants. Based on the study, bacteria have a unique metabolism to degrade inorganic and organic pollutants such as hydrocarbons (including petroleum), diesel oil, ammonia nitrogen, cellulose, starch, fat, styrofoam, chromium, and heavy metals. Furthermore, the overall environmental conditions can also help the organisms involved to accelerate the bioremediation process.

“…Single‐use and non‐biodegradable plastics lead to large amounts of waste in the oceans and landfills, which can be harmful to the environment. Many researchers have highlighted studies on how biodegradable polymers produced from renewable and natural plant components such as polysaccharides can help to improve environmental sustainability 1, 2. Active and ecological packaging is capable of delaying microbial food degradation and prolonging food shelf life, in addition to replacing single‐use plastics 3, 4.…”

Active packaging films derived from renewable biopolymers with an antioxidant formulation are a promising alternative in prolonging food shelf life. This study aimed to develop active hybrid films from semi-refined carrageenan, plasticized with glycerol, incorporating α-tocopherol, and enhanced with cellulose nanofibers derived from empty fruit bunch as reinforcing agents for improved film function in active packaging. The active hybrid films were characterized for their properties, and the release of antioxidant α-tocopherol was observed in food simulant and fresh meat. The application of the active hybrid films reinforced with cellulose nanofibers as active packaging for food products is presented.

“…Huge consumption of nonbiodegradable plastics has caused critical environmental issues such as microplastics; hence, biodegradable plastics are the center of attention. , Polylactic acid (PLA) is a widely used biodegradable plastic, commonly used for manufacturing biodegradable straws. Even though PLA is biodegradable, biodegradation of PLA occurs slowly.…”

Development of effective upcycling methods for biodegradable plastic waste (for example, straws made of polylactic acid (PLA)) has emerged. In this study, a catalyst derived from sea shell waste (SSC) was used for a thermocatalytic conversion of biodegradable straw (BDS) for the recovery of monomer (for example, lactic acid). In effect, a strategy for simultaneously upcycling of biodegradable plastic waste (for example, straws made of polylactic acid (PLA)) and marine waste (for example, sea shell waste) was proposed. The SSC mainly consisted of calcium carbonate; thus, it had basicity with no acidity. Notably, a temperature of 500 °C and an SSC/BDS mass ratio of 0.5 led to the highest lactic acid recovery from BDS in this study. In particular, the use of SSC under the above-mentioned temperature and SSC/BDS mass ratio resulted in a 130 times higher lactic acid recovery than noncatalytic BDS conversion, most likely because the base sites present on SSC catalyzed the thermal cracking of PLA polymer bond. However, coke deposition was the major deactivation pathway of SSC during the thermocatalytic BDS conversion. In essence, SSC has the potential to be a catalyst used to thermocatalytically recover high-value chemicals from biodegradable plastic waste. In addition, this study can offer insight into developing waste conversion processes for the simultaneous upcycling of biodegradable plastic and marine wastes.
