Addressing the global challenge of plastic waste requires innovative approaches, both in managing existing waste and in developing sustainable materials. The strategies can be broadly categorised into two main areas: a) handling plastic waste and b) fostering bio-based plastics production. Both are equally important. There is a perceived need for publications which document and showcase innovative approaches and strategies to tackle the plastic waste challenge. Against this backdrop and in order to facilitate a broad discussion on the contribution of innovative approaches to handle plastic and foster bioplastics use, that this book is being produced. Produced as an output of the Horizon 2020 project "Bioplastics Europe", the book gathers inputs from universities and research organisations working on matters related to plastic waste management and bioplastic production, in a variety of contexts. Furthermore, the book intends to provide a fertile basis upon which universities, research centres, and practitioners may cooperate more closely in this key area. Last but not least, a further aim of the book is to present methodological approaches and experiences deriving from case studies and projects, which aim to show how research to handle plastic-based pollution and many related problems may be implementing across a range of disciplines. Thanks to its scope and interdisciplinarity, this books makes an excellent reading to everyone interested on handling the many challenges posed by plastics in our modern society.PPN: PPN: 1926117182Package identifier: Produktsigel: ZDB-2-SEB | ZDB-2-EES | ZDB-2-SXEE
