Track 1: Recycling and Waste Management of Biopolymers

A survey stated that 14% of Biopolymer usage is expected to grow in the year of 2022. That survey motivates us to find the methods and ways to recycle and manage the Biopolymer waste. Once a biopolymer product is used, it can be changed as any of the recycled product. Biopolymers can be biodegradable Biopolymers can be recycled and non-degradable biopolymers can be littered or land filled. In rare cases, Biopolymers can also dissolved in water. Although there are several options to manage the biopolymer waste such recycling and digestion to make it as compost. Such recycling methods have positive impact on environment and economy. Littering and land filling help us to manage the waste and on the other hand it is also possible to recycle the biopolymers mechanically and chemically. In any type of recycling the waste should be collected and sorted in order to decide whether to recycle or to landfill. The Pre-consumed Biopolymers can be easy to collect, low contaminated where as post-consumed Biopolymers hard to collect, highly contaminated.

Track 2: Biopolymers and Bioplastics

Biopolymers and Bioplastics are produced by the natural substances. Microorganism produces Bioplastics from the used plastic containers and agricultural by products. On the other hand common fossil-fuel plastics are derived from the natural resources like petroleum and natural gas. In the process of Bioplastic production, polymers are used which are obtained from the natural organism. The molecules primarily known as monomeric modules are exist in the Bioploymers to produce large structures. According to monomeric molecule structure used, Biopolymer can be categorized into three main classes. The classes are, Ploynucleotids, Polypetides and Polysaccharides. Rubber and Cellulose is the most common compound and biopolymer on the Earth.

Track 4: Environmental impact of polymer-waste disposal

Non-biodegradable polymers are harmful to the environment. As they are non-degradable they contaminate the soil in the land. And also the organism living in the sea can also affected when we throw the polymers into the sea. To get rid of such problem we can suggest an alternate by using the degradable polymer substances and products. Recycling of the polymer waste is far better than landfill it or dispose it. Environment may affect with disposal of polymers in the landfill because they stay back in the earth for a long period of time and they cannot be composted by the microbe. Also they may produce the harmful gases result in the increase of global warming level. The disposed polymer without a proper recycling can adversely changes the ecosystem which contaminates the water, food resources and oxygen levels in the air. In short run the polymer waste disposal can cause the health and respiratory problems in human as well as in other living organisms.

Track 6: Polymer Synthesis and Polymerization

Many monomers are merged together to form a Polymer. Polymer is a combination of repeated long chain units of monomers. Most of the monomers are alkenes with double bond which react in addition to their unsaturated double bonds. To bond two monomer molecules the double bond electrons are used. Once a Polymer is formed all the double bonds are converted a single bonds. Polymers are many types such as linear chain polymers, lightly branched polymers, combed polymers and star polymers.

Polymers synthesis determines the molecular structure and it will help us to avoid side reactions and achieve a worthy product. Polymerization polymers can be of many types. First one is the Chain growth polymerization and second is Step growth polymerization. In chain growth, polymerization is activated by the activation of neighboring monomers of a monomer. High molecular weight polymers are obtained quickly with a rapid process of chain growth polymerization. On the other hand, in step growth polymerization, bi functional monomers are combined in a systematic approach to build covalent bonds. In this process molecular weight increases slowly and in step wise.

The term water-soluble polymer encompasses a wide range of synthetic, semisynthetic, and natural materials. Although they differ in molecular structure, these polymers share an important attribute: all are soluble in water, at least under some conditions. For the family as a whole, the range of applications is broad, but individual polymers generally have a smaller set of end uses.

Water treatment is the single most important end use for water-soluble polymers, especially synthetic materials such as polyacrylamide. In developed nations, the municipal, wastewater, and industrial water treatment markets are large and well-established; therefore, the outlook for consumption growth is moderate. In contrast, demand growth in China will be more robust, stimulated by the government's growing attention to water resources.
