Thus, there is an imminent need to think seriously about the transition towards a circular bioeconomy of innovative biobased materials with biodegradability potentials. This paper examines the driving forces behind the changes in food plastic packaging regimes and specifically seeks to understand how socio-technical configurations may influence niches to transition to a circular bioeconomy, particularly biobased biodegradable plastic materials. By employing a systematic review of the literature, we find that coordination with other back-end socio-technical systems that provide valorization of packaging waste is crucial to enable the transition. The literature indicates that one possible transition path is that the biobased biodegradable materials serve as “carriers of food waste”. The paper contributes to the discu...
An approximate biogenic contribution of minor elements to sapropel of Lake Kirek in West Siberia ... more An approximate biogenic contribution of minor elements to sapropel of Lake Kirek in West Siberia is estimated using the “model of direct inheritance” of their composition in plankton by OM of bottom sediments (Yudovich and Ketris, 1990). It is shown that the lifetime accumulation of P, Br, and Zn in copepod zooplankton of Lake Kirek notably affects the concentration of

Sapropel is mainly formed from phytoplankton. In sapropel, bacteria play the key role in the decomposition of organic matter with further formation of organic-mineral complexes and pyrite.
