Abstract

The use of bioplastics is a new strategy for reducing microplastic (MP) waste caused by petroleum-based plastics. This problem has received increased attention worldwide, leading to the development of large-scale bioplastic plants. The large amount of MPs in aquatic and terrestrial environments and the atmosphere has raised global concern. This article delves into the profound environmental impact of the increasing use of petroleum-based plastics, which contribute significantly to plastic waste and, as a consequence, to the increase in MPs. We conducted a comprehensive analysis to identify countries that are at the forefront of efforts to produce bioplastics to reduce MP pollution. In this article, we explain the development, degradation processes, and research trends of bioplastics derived from biological materials such as starch, chitin, chitosan, and polylactic acid (PLA). The findings pinpoint the top 10 countries demonstrating a strong commitment to reducing MP pollution through bioplastics. These nations included the United States, China, Spain, Canada, Italy, India, the United Kingdom, Malaysia, Belgium, and the Netherlands. This study underscores the technical and economic obstacles to large-scale bioplastic production. Integr Environ Assess Manag 2024;20:1892–1911. © 2024 SETAC

来自石油基塑料的微塑料及其影响：全球生物塑料生产的系统文献综述和科学绘图。

使用生物塑料是减少石油基塑料造成的微塑料（MP）废物的一种新策略。这一问题在全球范围内受到越来越多的关注，导致了大规模生物塑料厂的发展。水生和陆地环境以及大气中的大量 MP 已引起全球关注。本文深入探讨了石油基塑料的日益使用对环境造成的深远影响，石油基塑料是塑料垃圾的主要来源，因此也导致了 MPs 的增加。我们进行了全面分析，以确定在生产生物塑料以减少 MP 污染方面走在前列的国家。在这篇文章中，我们解释了从淀粉、甲壳素、壳聚糖和聚乳酸（PLA）等生物材料中提取的生物塑料的开发、降解过程和研究趋势。研究结果明确指出了通过生物塑料减少 MP 污染的前 10 个国家。这些国家包括美国、中国、西班牙、加拿大、意大利、印度、英国、马来西亚、比利时和荷兰。这项研究强调了大规模生物塑料生产所面临的技术和经济障碍。Integr Environ Assess Manag 2024;00:1-20.© 2024 SETAC.

期刊介绍： Integrated Environmental Assessment and Management (IEAM) publishes the science underpinning environmental decision making and problem solving. Papers submitted to IEAM must link science and technical innovations to vexing regional or global environmental issues in one or more of the following core areas: Science-informed regulation, policy, and decision making Health and ecological risk and impact assessment Restoration and management of damaged ecosystems Sustaining ecosystems Managing large-scale environmental change Papers published in these broad fields of study are connected by an array of interdisciplinary engineering, management, and scientific themes, which collectively reflect the interconnectedness of the scientific, social, and environmental challenges facing our modern global society: Methods for environmental quality assessment; forecasting across a number of ecosystem uses and challenges (systems-based, cost-benefit, ecosystem services, etc.); measuring or predicting ecosystem change and adaptation Approaches that connect policy and management tools; harmonize national and international environmental regulation; merge human well-being with ecological management; develop and sustain the function of ecosystems; conceptualize, model and apply concepts of spatial and regional sustainability Assessment and management frameworks that incorporate conservation, life cycle, restoration, and sustainability; considerations for climate-induced adaptation, change and consequences, and vulnerability Environmental management applications using risk-based approaches; considerations for protecting and fostering biodiversity, as well as enhancement or protection of ecosystem services and resiliency.
