Dumping of plastics in landfills and in marine environment are having adverse effects across the globe. Also, microplastics found in most of the water sources, affects both human and marine life. The current widely adopted crude-based plastics are degraded to reduce its adverse impact. However, degradation of plastics also requires energy intensive...

Qualified respondents to this Frost & Sullivan survey were invited to participate in a telephone interview examining their laboratory s product purchasing process in 2023 and expectations for 2024. Frost & Sullivan has conducted similar studies among the same targeted respondents since 2012. The survey provides companies with actionable and trendin...

People are becoming more aware of plastic pollution, and consumers and manufacturers are seeking ways to reduce their contribution to the problem. Using less plastic, improving recycling rates, using more biodegradable plastics, and moving toward a circular economy for plastics are all potential solutions. The goal of this report is to present in g...

Plastics manufactured from primary chemicals derived from crude oil are not completely biodegradable and environment friendly. The eco-friendliness of the plastics depends upon the ability of the plastics to degrde under specific conditions. Emissions from the plastics production and the disposal of single use plastics in to landfills is a major co...
