Abstract

E-waste plastics pose significant environmental and health challenges due to their complex composition and the harmful chemicals they contain. The improper disposal of these materials through methods like landfilling and incineration exacerbates their environmental impact. This review explores the assessment, characterization, and bioprocessing of e-waste plastics, focusing on their chemical properties, degradation mechanisms, and potential biotechnological solutions. Emerging technologies such as microbial degradation and enzymatic breakdown offer promising alternatives for the efficient recycling of these materials, potentially reducing their environmental footprint. The integration of these biotechnological approaches within circular economy models could provide a sustainable solution for managing plastic waste. However, challenges related to scalability, toxicity, and the economic viability of these solutions remain. Additionally, effective policy frameworks and regulations are crucial in guiding the sustainable management of e-waste plastics. This review also discusses future research directions, emphasizing the need for optimized bioremediation techniques and the importance of strengthening international policies to address the growing issue of e-waste plastics.

Abstract

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) represents one of the most critical global health challenges, as multidrug-resistant (MDR) pathogens continue to rise, threatening the efficacy of conventional antibiotics. To combat this growing threat, innovative approaches, such as the recycling of antibiotics into Group of Uniform Materials Based on Organic Salts (GUMBOS), have emerged. GUMBOS are a novel class of compounds formed by combining antibiotics with counter-ions to modify their physicochemical properties, leading to enhanced antimicrobial activity, stability, and bioactivity. This review explores the design, mechanisms of action, and applications of GUMBOS, highlighting their potential in overcoming resistance, improving drug delivery, and offering new therapeutic options. The review also discusses the challenges and limitations, including toxicity concerns, scale-up difficulties, and regulatory hurdles. Furthermore, it emphasizes future perspectives, including the integration of GUMBOS with nanotechnology and their potential as a platform for broader drug repurposing. Although promising, the successful clinical translation of GUMBOS will require extensive in vivo studies and clinical trials to confirm their safety and efficacy. This approach not only presents a sustainable solution to AMR but also opens new avenues for the innovative delivery of therapeutic agents.
