Innovations for sustainable chemical manufacturing and waste minimization through green production practices

Abstract In the current scenario, a green product is designed to have a minimal impact on the environment as it is made from recycled materials. In the highly energy-intensive industry, green production has a significant influence on business sustainability. The intelligent environment around us created an unavoidable problem, because of the uncontrolled growth in waste materials like plastic and electrical trash. Both seriously endanger the environment, wildlife, and human health, trash has an impact on societal structures and financial systems in future generations. Industrial and domestic plastic wastes, which are dumped in landfills or the environment, are mostly made of polyethylene (PE) polymers. These wastes’ polymeric nature makes them difficult for microorganisms to degrade. Incorporating biological and chemical processes together is facilitated by pyrolysis and the biodegradation of alkenes to achieve the maximum biodegradation of PE plastics, as proposed in this study, to reduce plastic waste. This research outcome demonstrates that the Waste plastic recycling plant dataset is taken to show the decomposition of high-density PE plastic to simpler alkene with microbial-assisted degradation of alkene to biomass through bacterial communities. Communities of microbes from three different environments inoculating at three nutrient levels are monitored for their ability to degrade model alkenes (with several carbon atoms) within 5 days. There is Plenty of evidence indicating that the nutritional content significantly influences the rates at which hydrocarbons are broken down. These findings imply that the microorganisms required for alkene breakdown are present in a wide range of ambient microbial communities and are significantly chosen under optimized environments such as nutrient enrichment.
