Plastics derived from biological sources: present and future: a technical and environmental review
Open accessAbstract
In the time period 2010 2015, the worldwide annual production \nof plastics is very likely to surpass 300 million tons,1,2 requiring \nmultiple amounts of petroleum and leading to hundreds \nof millions of tons ofCO2 in addition to health risks for the public \ndue to the release of other types of emissions.1,3 A large amount \nof plastics (at least 40% of the total consumption) is used in \nshort-term applications, and the resulting waste can quickly \nlead to additional environmental damage unless adequate \nwaste management systems are in place. For example, conventional \npetrochemical plastics are harmful for terrestrial and \nsea animals as well as birds that tend to eat plastic residues;4 \nthese impacts could be reduced by plastics that are biodegradable \nby microorganisms. In short, petrochemical plastics are \nnot sustainable and bio-based sustainable plastics should be \ndeveloped to avoid problems caused by the petrochemical \nplastics.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
