• Production of biodegradable plastic from agricultural wastes (2015, background): “PHA has been marketed as environmentally friendly bio-plastics with less CO 2 emissions and sustainability as well as independence from petroleum sources (Chen and Patel, 2012).”
• Radical Innovation for Sustainability: The Power of Strategy and Open Innovation (2016, background): “Fossil-fuel derived plastics dominate global production, yet are recognized as unsustainable due to high greenhouse gas emissions and additional ecological impacts (Chen and Patel, 2012).”
• Bio-Based Smart Materials for Food Packaging and Sensors – A Review (2020, background): “bio-based polyethylene, PP, polyamide and polyethylene terephthalate are non-biodegradable, and PCLs and PVAs are from non-renewable resources (Chen and Patel, 2012; Geueke, 2014; van Crevel, 2016).”
• Technologies and perspectives for achieving carbon neutrality (2021, background): “For instance, microorganisms, especially bacteria, can use most biological resources, such as starch, fatty acids, cellulose, sugars, proteins, and other organic materials, as sources of nutrients and convert them into various monomers appropriate for the production of biopolymers.(269) Unlike tradi”
• Current progress on bio-based polymers and their future trends (2013, methodology): “As indicated by ISI Web of Sciences and Thomas Innovations, there is a tremendous increase in the number of publication citations on bio-based polymers and applications in recent years, as shown in Figure 1 (Chen and Martin 2012).”
