Background: Plastic waste generates pollutants in the process of incineration or landfilling, and accumulates in water or marine organisms, causing adverse effects on the environment and the human body. Recently, various eco-friendly oral hygiene products (Eco-OHPs) such as bamboo toothbrushes and biodegradable plastic toothbrushes have been developed. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the current level of awareness and purchasing status of eco-OHPs among adults who are interested in eco-friendly products. Methods: This study included adults aged >19 years who regularly visited eco-friendly shops and online sites; the online survey links were distributed during their visits to eco-friendly Internet cafés and companies. Of the 22 questions, seven assessed the participants' general characteristics, three assessed the general oral hygiene care products used, six assessed the level of awareness of Eco-OHPs, and six assessed the purchasing status of Eco-OHPs. Frequency analysis, chi-square test, and regression analysis were performed using SPSS software. Results: Among the respondents, 108 (51.4%) were aware of Eco-OHPs, and 79 (37.6%) had experience purchasing Eco-OHPs. The most common reason for not purchasing was the lack of information about related brands or products (74, 56.5%). The most common platform used in obtaining information was the Internet (general: 31.5%, eco-friendly: 46.3%), such as Social Network Service, Internet cafes, and blogs. The experience in purchasing Eco-OHPs was affected by whether the respondents recognized the possibility of contributing to environmental preservation, availability of vendors, product safety, and the number of eco-friendly products purchased. Conclusion: In order to expand the use of Eco-OHPs, various efforts such as promotion of eco-friendly characteristics, determination of related vendors, reliable analysis of product safety, and expansion of product experience opportunities are required.

실내마스크 착용 해제 및 거리 두기 완화에도 불구하고 비대면 서비스가 계속되어 이루어지고 있다. 특히 음·식료품을 비롯한 농·축·수산물의 배송 수요는 증가하고 있어 이에 부가되는 플라스틱 포장 폐기물의 양이 꾸준히 증가하는 추세이다. 이에 따라 EU에서는 포장재 플라스틱의 사용을 규제하려는 방향으로 움직임을 보였다. 이러한 국제 트렌드의 흐름에 대응하여 국내 패키징 업계에서는 PLA, PBAT와 같은 생분해성 물질을 이용한 친환경 포장재 개발 연구를 활발히 진행하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 이슈에 대응하여 국내 가로수 중 상당 비중을 차지하여 식재된 은행나무의 은행잎을 lactic acid 생산에 관한 새로운 원료로 활용하고자 하였다. 은행잎은 cellulose, mannan, xylan 등의 다당류를 함유하고 있으며 대량의 원료를 얻을 수 있다는 유용한 특징이 있다. 본 연구를 통해 전처리한 은행추출부산물의 glucan은 단일 분획 공정으로는 높은 수율을 기대하기 어렵다고 판단되어지며, 낮은 수욜 문제를 해결하기 위해서는 전처리 가수분해액, 효소당화액을 모두 활용하는 통합 공정이 필수적으로 적용되어야 한다.

Recombinant human bone morphogenic protein-2 (rhBMP-2), which is known as one of the major local stimuli for osteogenic differentiation, was immobilized on the surface of hyaluronic acid (HA)-modified poly$(\varepsilon-caprolactone)$ (PCL) (HA-PCL) scaffolds to improve the attachment, proliferation, and differentiation of human bone marrow stem cells (hBMSCs) for bone tissue engineering. The rhBMP-2 proteins were directly immobilized onto the HA-modified PCL scaffolds by the chemical grafting the amine groups of proteins to carboxylic acid groups of HA. The amount of covalently bounded rhBMP-2 was measured to 1.6 pg/mg (rhBMP/HA-PCL scaffold) by using a sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbant assay. The rhBMP-2 immobilized HA-modified-PCL scaffold exhibited the good colonization, by the newly differentiated osteoblasts, with a statistically significant increase of the rhBMP-2 release and alkaline phosphatase activity as compared with the control groups both PCL and HA-PCL scaffolds. We also found enhanced mineralization and elevated osteocalcin detection for the rhBMP-2 immobilized HA-PCL scaffolds, in vitro.

Aim of the study: Scaffolds are crucial to tissue engineering/regeneration. Biodegradable polymer/ceramic composite scaffolds can overcome the limitations of conventional ceramic bone substitutes such as brittleness and difficulty in shaping. In this study, poly(L-lactide)/hydroxyapatite(PLLA/HA) composite scaffolds were fabricated for in vivo bone tissue engineering. Material & methods: In this study, PLLA/HA composite microspheres were prepared by double emulsion-solvent evaporation method, and were evaluated in vivo bone tissue engineering. Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell from rat iliac crest was differentiated to osteoblast by adding osteogenic medium, and was mixed with PLLA/HA composite scaffold in fibrin gel and was injected immediately into rat cranial bone critical size defect(CSD:8mm in diameter). At 1. 2, 4, 8 weeks after implantation, histological analysis by H-E staining, histomorphometric analysis and radiolographic analysis were done. Results: BMP-2 loaded PLLA/HA composite scaffolds in fibrin gel delivered with osteoblasts differentiated from bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells showed rapid and much more bone regeneration in rat cranial bone defects than control group. Conclusion: This results suggest the feasibility and usefulness of this type of scaffold in bone tissue engineering.

바이오플라스틱은 탄소중립적이며 생분해가 가능하다는 점에서 기존 플라스틱의 대체재로 주목받고 있다. 이 연구는 일국 축차동태 연산가능일반균형 모형을 사용하여 석유 기반 플라스틱산업 규제와 바이오플라스틱산업 육성에 따른 경제적 환경적 파급효과를 추정하였다. 분석결과, 플라스틱산업 규제 시 온실가스 감축과 폐기물 감소 효과가 나타나 긍정적인 환경적 파급효과가 발생한 반면, GDP는 감소하여 경제적으로는 부정적인 파급효과를 확인할 수 있었다. 한편 플라스틱산업 규제와 바이오플라스틱산업 육성이 동시에 이루어지는 경우, 플라스틱 산업 규제만 시행하는 시나리오와 비교하여 유사한 수준의 온실가스 감축과 폐기물 감소효과가 발생했으나 바이오플라스틱산업 생산 확대가 기존의 경제적 손실을 상쇄시켜 GDP를 증가시키는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 바이오플라스틱 생산 확대를 통해 석유 기반 플라스틱을 대체해 나간다면 온실가스 배출 및 플라스틱 폐기물 발생과 같은 환경문제를 개선하면서 경제성장을 가능하게 하는 탈동조화(decoupling)에 기여할 수 있을 것으로 판단한다.

Purpose: An ideal bony construct can be divided into two broad categories: (1) the design and fabrication of biodegradable, biomimetic scaffolds that provide correct signals to induce osteogenesis: (2) the identification of an ideal source of osteoprogenitor cells to seed onto the scaffold. We selected poly-glycolic acid as a synthetic scaffold among various scaffolds because of these properties. Meanwhile, culture medium is supplemented with fetal bovine serum(FBS): such serum contains essential elements such as proteins, hormones, growth factors and trace minerals. The composition of FBS can be ideal for various cell growth in vitro. We supposed that we could enhance bone growth at a fractured site if FBS was mixed with synthetic scaffold-PGA. Methods: We cultured human osteoblasts in five different prepared culture dishes made with FBS and PGA mixture. The mixtures contained different ratio of FBS, that is, 0, 1.5, 3, 7, and 10%. We cultured human osteoblasts for seven days and examined the growth and attachment of the cells at the 1st, 3rd, 5th, 7th days, respectively. Results: In the mixture of 0% FBS and PGA, the growth of the cells lasted for one day. In 1.5 and 3% FBS and PGA, the growth of the cells was examined at the 3rd day, then minimally declined at the 5th and 7th days. In 7% FBS and PGA, the growth of the cells lasted for 5 days, then declined at the 7th day. In 10% FBS and PGA, the growth of the cells lasted for 5 days, then declined at the 7th day. Staining status of the osteoblasts with alkaline phosphatase showed pale pink color in 0% FBS and PGA groups, but bright pink color in 1.5, 3, 7, 10% FBS and PGA groups, especially in 3%, 7%. Conclusion: In consequence, the growth of human osteoblast was higher in the mixture of FBS and PGA groups than in pure PGA ones. It is assumed that the mixture of FBS and PGA affects the proliferation of human osteoblasts.

The study investigated the effect of thermo-alkaline pretreatment on the solubilization of polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) and its potential to enhance of thermophilic anaerobic digestion, focusing on biochemical methane potential (BMP) and methane production rate, using two different particle sizes of PHB (1500 ㎛ and 400 ㎛). Thermo-alkaline pretreatment tests were conducted at 90 ℃ for 24 hours with varying NaOH dosages from 0-80% (w/w). BMP tests with untreated PHB exhibited methane production ranging from 150.4~225.4 mL CH₄/g COD and 21.5~24.2 mL CH₄/g VSS/d, indicating higher methane production for smaller particle sizes of PHB, 400 ㎛. Thermo-alkaline pretreatment tests achieved a 95.3% PHB solubilization efficiency when 400 ㎛ PHB particles were treated with 80% NaOH dosage at 90 ℃ for 24 hours. BMP tests with pretreated PHB showed substantial improvement in thermophilic anaerobic digestion, with an increase of up to 112% in BMP and up to 168% in methane production rate. The results suggest that a combined pretreatment process, including physical (400 ㎛ PHB particles) and thermo-alkaline (90 ℃, 40-80% NaOH dosage, and 24 hours reaction time), is required for high-rate thermophilic anaerobic digestion of PHB with enhanced methane production.

최근 플라스틱 제품의 사용후 폐기에서 발생 되는 환경적인 문제점들이 대두 되고 있는 가운데, 이러한 제품에 대한 친환경적인 재료 설계에 대한 요구가 거세지고 있는 실정으로 플라스틱 업계의 사활이 걸릴 정도의 중요한 문제로 부각되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 플라스틱 제품의 치명적인 환경적인 문제점을 극복하고자, Matrix 물질이 되는 플라스틱에서 부터 친 환경적인 생분해성 수지를 사용하면서, 물성의 강화제로써 천연물 유래의 여러 종류의 섬유를 사용하고자 하였다.가장 보편화된 생분해성 플라스틱인 지방족 폴리에스테르 계통의 생분해성 수지와 Polylactic acid에 대해 검토를 하였다. 지방족 폴리에스테르 의 경우는 기존 플라스틱 제품과 비교해서 유연하고, 신장율이 높고, PLA 대비 내열 사용한계 온도도 높아서 물성적인 측면에서 상당한 장점을 가지고는 있으나 가격이 매우 고가이므로, 기존 플라스틱을 대체하는 것에는 문제점이 있다. 반면 PLA의 경우 지방족 폴리에스테르 대비 절반 이하의 가격이고 기계적 강도 또한 매우 높기 때문에 기존의 플라스틱을 대체할 수 있는 가장 유력한 물질로 대두 되고 있으나, 사출물과 같은 충격이 요구되는 제품에 있어서는 PLA 고유의 약한 취성이 가장 큰 단점으로 지적되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 PLA를 기반으로 PLA의 장점이 기계적 강성을 유지하면서, 취성을 보완하기 위해 PBS를 혼합 할 수 있는 기술을 개발하였으며, 또한 원재료의 Cost를 줄이고, PBS 혼합에 따른 PLA의 기계적 강도 감소를 보완하기 위해 천연물 유래의 Wood fiber, Starch, Bamboo fiber, Cellulose fiber, Paper fiber 와 같은 각종 천연 Filler를 사용하여 기계적 기계적 강도 감소를 최소화 하였다.

Lactic acid is an important product arising from the anaerobic fermentation by lactic acid bacteria (LAB). It is used in the pharmaceutical, cosmetic, chemical, and food industries as well as for biodegradable polymer and green solvent production. The poly lactic acid (PLA) is an important material for bio-plastic manufacturing process. For PLA production by new LAB, we screened LAB isolates from shellfish. A total of 28 LAB were isolated from various shellfishes. They were all Gram positive, oxidase and catalase negative. Based on API 50CHL kit, 7 strains among the 28 isolates were identified as Lactobacillus plantarum, 6 strains as Lactobacillus delbrueckii, 5 strains as Leuconostoc mesenteroides, 3 strains as Lactobacillus brevis, 2 strains as Lactococcus lactis, 1 strain as Lactobacillus salivarius, 1 strain as Lactobacillus paracasei, 1 strain as Lactobacillus pentosus, 1 strain as Lactobacillus fermentum and 1 strain as Pediococcus pentosaceu. Also, we examined the amount of total lactic acid produced by these new strains by HPLC analysis with Chiralpak MA column. One strain E-3 from Mytilus edulis was indentified as Lactobacillus plantarum and found to produce 20.0 g/L of D-form lactic acid from 20 g/L of dextrose. Further studies are underway to increase the D-lactic acid production by E-3.
