“…It can be used for coatings and packaging [107][108][109] as well as 3D printing [110]. PHBV can also be used in the textile industry, especially when blended with poly(lactic acid) (PLA), a biobased and biodegradable plastic [111], and in cosmetics as microbeads for exfoliants [112]. The medical field has also found various uses for PHBV.…”

Synthetic polymers, commonly known as plastics, are currently present in all aspects of our lives. Although they are useful, they present the problem of what to do with them after their lifespan. There are currently mechanical and chemical methods to treat plastics, but these are methods that, among other disadvantages, can be expensive in terms of energy or produce polluting gases. A more environmentally friendly alternative is recycling, although this practice is not widespread. Based on the practice of the so-called circular economy, many studies are focused on the biodegradation of these polymers by enzymes. Using enzymes is a harmless method that can also generate substances with high added value. Novel and enhanced plastic-degrading enzymes have been obtained by modifying the amino acid sequence of existing ones, especially on their active site, using a wide variety of genetic approaches. Currently, many studies focus on the common aim of achieving strains with greater hydrolytic activity toward a different range of plastic polymers. Although in most cases the depolymerization rate is improved, more research is required to develop effective biodegradation strategies for plastic recycling or upcycling. This review focuses on a compilation and discussion of the most important research outcomes carried out on microbial biotechnology to degrade and recycle plastics.

Green fabrication of PHBV microbeads using a dimethyl isosorbide solvent for skin exfoliators

Abstract: PHBV microbeads were made in an eco-friendly way, and are eco-friendly, biocompatible, harmless to plants and aquatic organisms and degradable. They showed excellent skin cleaning efficiency, proving their potential to replace traditional petroleum-based microbeads.
