“…Biomaterials-based recyclable and biodegradable packaging has become a viable alternative to the traditional single-use plastics that pose environmental problems [ 94 ]. These cutting-edge materials are biodegradable and less dependent on fossil fuels since they are made from renewable resources like algae, cellulose, or plant-based starches.…”

“…Plastic is manufactured from synthetic organic polymers and is one of the widest materials as they are durable, lightweight, versatile, and inexpensive to produce [1]. The first plastics were made in the 1860s, but it was not until the 1940s that the plastics industry became one of the world's fastest-growing sectors.…”

“…Since then, conventional materials like wood, metal, and leather have been steadily supplanted by plastics [2]. Plastics have become essential in the textile, automotive, manufacturing, and packaging industries due to their adaptability [1]. The packaging business can be said to be the largest market in the plastics industry.…”

Plastic waste in Malaysia has become a serious problem since it affects not only the environment but wildlife animals and marine life too. These may cause by irresponsible people in dealing with their plastic waste management. Therefore, this study is conducted mainly to analyse the knowledge, attitude, awareness, and behaviours of households in Pasir Gudang towards plastic waste management in separating plastic waste before its disposal. A questionnaire was distributed among households who live in this area. The Binary Logistic Regression is used to analyse the knowledge, attitude, awareness, and behaviour of households towards plastic waste management. The results show that only the behaviours of households affect the plastic waste management in their households (p-value=0.04). The Hosmer-Lemeshow test indicates the model has a good fit for the data (p-value=0.480). Other than that, the Omnibus test (p-value=0.03) shows predictors have significant effects and gave improvement to the model. The Classification Table shows the accuracy of 67.4% of the households who separated plastic waste before its disposal. It is suggested to improve the result by adding more respondents to provide insight information on the independent variables, analyse further using other approach such as decision tree and parallelly acknowledge others on the importance of recycling plastic waste.

“…They are still promising biodegradable plastics produced by microbes using waste feedstock 2 , gaining attention for their compostability under environmental conditions 3 . The technique of producing PHA by fermentation allows the production of several biodegradable products, such as packaging for food 4 and beverages 5 , films and coatings for packaging 6 , raw material for 3D printing 7 , textile fibers 8 , medical implants 9 , pharmaceuticals and cosmetics 10 .…”

The present work investigates the aquatic biodegradation of poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) (PHB)/nanoclay bionanocomposites containing PP-g-MA as compatibilizing agent. Both pristine and organically modified (Cloisite20A ® ) montmorillonite clay were used as fillers in different content (1 and 3 wt%). The bionanocomposites were prepared by melt intercalation in a single screw extruder. There after films (50x50x0.5mm) were prepared by compression and assessed by X-ray diffraction. Aquatic biodegradation of the films was appraised by visual inspection, optical microscopy, counting and identification of bacteria. Results proposed that the water of the Parnaíba River in the city of Teresina (Piauí, Brazil) has microorganisms (Pseudomonas putida and Pseudomonas aeruginosa) capable of degrading these bionanocomposite films, particularly the films with 3 wt% organoclay. Our data indicated the bacteria Pseudomonas aeruginosa degraded dexterously all the films. This work collaborates with the preservation of the environment and expands the use of bionanocomposites in expendable items with the development of films with properties favorable to biodegradation in aquatic environments. It is believed that PHB/clay/PP-g-MA films emerge as a promising alternative for the packaging industry.
