Despite the availability of effective interventions and public recognition of the severity of the problem, rabies continues to suffer neglect by programme planners in India and other low and middle income countries. We investigate whether this state of 'policy impasse' is due to, at least in part, the research community not catering to the information needs of the policy makers.
Our objective was to review the research output on rabies from India and examine its alignment with national policy priorities. A systematic literature review of all rabies research articles published from India between 2001 and 2011 was conducted. The distribution of conducted research was compared to the findings of an earlier research prioritization exercise. It was found that a total of 93 research articles were published from India since 2001, out of which 61% consisted of laboratory based studies focussing on rabies virus. Animals were the least studied group, comprising only 8% of the research output. One third of the articles were published in three journals focussing on vaccines and infectious disease epidemiology and the top 4 institutions (2 each from the animal and human health sectors) collectively produced 49% of the national research output. Biomedical research related to development of new interventions dominated the total output as opposed to the identified priority domains of socio-politic-economic research, basic epidemiological research and research to improve existing interventions.
The paper highlights the gaps between rabies research and policy needs, and makes the case for developing a strategic research agenda that focusses on rabies control as an expected outcome.
Rabies is among the most widely spread zoonoses (diseases that are naturally transmitted between vertebrate animals and humans) in humans in most Asian, African and Latin American countries. Even though researchers have demonstrated effectiveness of strategies to control rabies at the population level, such as post exposure prophylaxis in humans and animal birth control and immunization among dogs, are well known, policy makers in most countries are hesitant to implement these strategies. This paper examines the disconnect that prevents the translation of scientific research outputs into effective policies. We contrasted the type of research papers published on rabies from India in the last eleven years with a previously identified set of priority research options. We found that most published research articles related to biomedical research focussing on development of new interventions. This was in contrast to policy and systems-related research and research to improve the performance of existing interventions that were identified as priority research options for India earlier. The findings of our study highlight the importance of moving beyond a purely researcher-driven agenda and suggest the need to promote research that has a vision of rabies control in the near future.
South Asian countries contribute to more than half of the global burden of rabies
As demonstrated in Africa, doubts persist among some experts as well as policy makers in low resource settings regarding the technical and operational challenges of rabies control
We propose that this state of 'policy impasse' is contributed by the fact, at least in part, that the research community has not catered to the information needs of the policy makers. This phenomenon is not exclusive to rabies. In fact, research to implementation gap has been reported in many other health domains
India is a major contributor to the global rabies burden, being responsible for 17,000–20,000 of the 55,000–70,000 deaths that modelling approaches have suggested to occur globally each year
An earlier research prioritization exercise systematically identified priority research options required for prevention and control of zoonoses in India over the next five years (2010–15) and incorporated the perspectives of a diverse group of stakeholders
In this paper, we build upon the findings of the earlier study to systematically review the rabies research output from India and examine its alignment with policy priorities of the country. This review is intended to serve as a case study highlighting the research – policy gap related to rabies in low and middle income countries (LMICs).
The study was designed as a review of rabies-related research published from Indian institutions from 2001 to 2011 as indexed in the PubMed database. PubMed was selected for the search as it is among the most accessible, standardized and extensive sources of life sciences literature in India, covering research publications in veterinary sciences, public health and molecular biology.
The search was restricted to Indian institutions publishing rabies research since 2001 so as to ascertain the national research capacity and its alignment with national policy needs as reflected in the prioritisation exercise referred to earlier
All original research articles related to rabies published from an Indian institution were included in the review. Articles not related to rabies as an important focus area of the study, case studies, literature reviews, opinion pieces and meeting reports were excluded. The review assessed the concordance between conducted research and policy priorities. Given the topical nature of policy agendas, the review was confined to research conducted in the last eleven years so that these could be contrasted with contemporary policy priorities.
A total of 138 articles related to rabies were identified to have been published from India in the last eleven years through PubMed. An initial screening of the records resulted in the exclusion of one PubMed reference to an erratum. Subsequently, the remaining 137 articles were reviewed by two researchers for inclusion in the final database using the criteria described above. Any conflicts in the process were resolved through mutual discussions or consultation with a third researcher.
Once the list of articles was finalized, their abstracts were reviewed for extracting metadata on publishing journal, setting of research and institutional affiliation of researchers. The articles were then categorized into research categories used in an earlier research prioritization exercise for zoonoses prevention and control: Instruments of Health Research (IHR) and Research Factorials
|No. of Articles
A total of 138 rabies-related publications were identified from India, which represents 4.4% of the total global research output on rabies in the same period (3,113 articles). Approximately 33% of the identified abstracts were excluded as they were review pieces or not directly related to rabies. A total of 93 original research articles were identified for detailed categorizations. On average, 8.5 original research articles on rabies were published from India every year and, as depicted in
The distribution of rabies research output based upon the research categorizations is described in detail below;
Journals focussing on animal health accounted for only 8% of the publications. Most of the articles were published in broad-based or human centric journals (48% and 43%, respectively). The 93 identified articles were published through 50 different journals. However, the top three journals accounted for 30% of all the published articles. These journals were
Institutions having Ministry of Health & Family Welfare as the nodal ministry dominated rabies research output, accounting for 57% of identified articles. The veterinary sector followed with 27%, and other institutions contributed 14% of publications. The top two institutions from the human and animal health sectors together accounted for half the total research output. These were National Institute of Mental Health & Neuro Sciences (NIMHANS), Kempegowda Institute of Medical Sciences (KIMS), Indian Veterinary Research Institute (IVRI) and Indian Immunologicals Limited (IIL).
We identified a total of 29 institutions from human, veterinary and other sectors that have worked on rabies research in the last eleven years. While half (14) the institutions were from the health sector, one third (9) were from the veterinary sector. The category of other institutions (6) included those from the scientific institutions and the vaccine industry.
The vast majority of published articles (58%) related to the rabies virus and a third (34%) were human-focussed. Only a minority of articles focussed on dogs (7%) and other animals (1%). The predominantly bio-medical focus of rabies research was also borne out by a categorisation of settings in which the reported research took place. While 61% of research articles described laboratory based work, 27% of articles related to clinic based research. Only 12% of research articles related to community based research settings. This trend was more pronounced for the veterinary sector where 23 out of a total of 25 articles related to laboratory based research. In contrast, research in the human sector was almost evenly divided between clinical and laboratory research.
As described in
Adopting a different lens of research factorials (
Researchers have highlighted the importance of periodically reviewing health research for its relevance to policy requirements in multiple contexts
Research output in terms of number of articles was fairly regular over an eleven year period, averaging 8.5 research articles per year. However, given the fact that India contributes less than 5% of global research output on rabies yet contains half the disease burden, the quantum of research output does not appear to be in keeping with either the disease burden in India or its institutional research capacity.
Research priorities were clearly skewed towards a bio-medical disease paradigm, with pathogen-based research driving the research agenda. Laboratory -based and clinical research focussing on the virus and its disease manifestations appeared to be more popular than risk research, ecological studies, health services research, operations research, economic evaluations and health systems research. As demonstrated by other researchers, this phenomenon is not limited to rabies and is a reflection of limited focus on public health research in India
The distribution pattern of conducted research topics on rabies appeared to be in direct contrast with the research options identified by national experts and policy makers in an earlier study
Similarly, as depicted in
While the importance of strengthening basic science research in the long run cannot be disputed, it needs to be understood that program managers and policy makers operate on shorter time frames than researchers. They need more actionable information from the research community, a role that can easily be fulfilled by the public health and veterinary community conversant with the practical challenges of mounting rabies intervention strategies.
It is important to situate the findings from our review into the larger context of policy challenges facing rabies control in India and internationally. In spite of repeated attempts, efforts to create a national rabies control program in many LMICs, including India, have not been successful because of challenges in conceptualising a programmatic structure for a multisectoral effort. A national consultation of rabies researchers, program managers and policy makers organised recently in Chennai, India, reviewed the policy landscape of rabies control in India and recognised the fact that rabies-related policy making has largely been conducted in isolation, with little contribution from local research
Inadequate interaction and communication between the research and policy-making communities is caused and exacerbated by the lack of collaborative platforms, differences in perspectives, and institutional barriers. Researchers are often unaware about the information needs of policy makers, while policy makers face limitations in preparing evidence-informed policies.
We describe some of the key policy challenges facing rabies planners in India and a sample of indicative knowledge gaps relating to these issues in
|Policy & Program issue
|Indicative knowledge gap
|Relevance for program planners
|No national programme in spite of high disease burden and repeated efforts, due to lack of clarity on role of animal husbandry department
|What are the contours of coordination mechanisms that facilitate joint planning and implementation of interventions?
|Enable effective and efficient use of resources to implement joint rabies interventions; will also provide a template to tackle other zoonotic diseases, including EIDs.
|Successful pilot intervention for rabies control in localised urban settings could not be replicated at state/national level
|What are the factors that will allow replication and scaling up of successful pilot interventions?
|Institute mechanisms to implement state/national level rabies control strategies.
|Widely varying dog population estimates across consecutive rounds of census; limited information on dog ecology
|How do dog population groups respond to different sets of intervention strategies?
|Guide dog population management.
|Poor quality of surveillance data both from human and animal sides, wherever reported
|What are the more pragmatic surveillance standards to improve the coverage and quality of surveillance systems for rabies among humans and animals?
|Promote evidence based planning and evaluation.
|Limited data on dog bite epidemiology for predicting vaccine requirements
|What is the caseload of severe dog bite cases at different levels of health facilities?
|Enable estimation of vaccine and antibody requirements.
|Weak diagnostic capacity
|What are the barriers to establishing a rabies diagnosis network?
|Provide capacity to improve surveillance quality and address underdiagnoses.
|Limited evidence on efficacy and effectiveness of interventions in different ecological settings.
|What set of interventions will work at the population level in different parts of the country?
|Allow long term planning and resource allocation for appropriate mix of rabies interventions strategies.
|Lack of thrust on environmental management in rabies control strategies
|What could be the potential intervention strategies of environmental management for rabies control?
|Contribute to dog population management.
While rabies research in India might not be completely reflective of global priorities, we have used it as an illustrative case study to highlight points that can be used to inform a larger discussion on prioritisation for rabies research globally. Researchers have reported similar research-policy disconnect in rabies control in other Asian and African countries. Their concerns relate to the absence of political commitment for rabies control from decision makers as a result of a perceived lack of conclusive information on disease burden and cost effectiveness of existing interventions among others
In order to overcome this stalemate and ensure progressive action towards rabies control globally, we propose the development of a strategic research agenda at national and regional levels
The policy relevance of conducted research can increase only when the close relationships between policy, program and research functions are recognized and when both research generators as well as research users are equally invested in such an exercise. Development of such a research agenda should, therefore, involve all stakeholder communities for a series of exercises going beyond defining the research needs of a specific population group. While the stewardship and the larger vision will need to come from the policy makers and nodal agencies with the mandate to lead such efforts, the researcher and program manager communities will need to be mobilised to advocate for the development and implementation of such an agenda.
As a first step, periodic research prioritization exercises will play a necessary role in aligning research output to the public health needs of the community. Recent initiatives on research prioritization have demonstrated the importance of increasing the policy relevance of conducted research across specific areas
Possible limitations in the study design that may affect the robustness of its results and the generalizability of its conclusions are listed below.
First, we restricted our search to PubMed because of ease of search and the database' coverage of multiple sectors. Although "grey literature" and un-indexed papers were not included as a result of this strategy, PubMed has the largest coverage of all life sciences journals, which ensures that we have captured the majority of literature on rabies research.
Second, the corresponding author affiliation was the only way to capture national affiliations. It is possible that resident researchers would have conducted policy-relevant research in collaboration with non-Indian institutions, but we did not include this work as it was not seen to be contributing to the capacity of national institutional research.
Third, we have referred to an earlier priority setting exercise by our team that can be used as a comparison with the conducted research. We would have liked to include further measures for validating our conclusions, but to our knowledge, we are not aware of other systematic priority setting exercises in zoonoses in this region. The purpose of this paper was to highlight the need for strategic planning of rabies research and to identify key issues that should be considered in the process using the example of India. The exact processes involved and the identification of precise criteria for research prioritizations will have to be informed by the local context.
Rabies research globally has generated a lot of 'actionable' evidence related to rabies control. Yet rabies control efforts continue to be neglected in many LMICs. We use the example of rabies research in India to demonstrate the fact that the research community has not been able to sufficiently address the concerns of policymakers. While the rabies research output in India is neither reflective of its share of the disease burden nor its institutional capacity, rabies research conducted in India has the potential to influence the rabies agenda nationally as well as in many LMIC countries if more policy relevant research is conducted.
The Planning Commission, Government of India has identified rabies as a priority zoonosis in India that will be targeted through a set of focussed strategies
The authors would like to acknowledge the helpful suggestions on the search strategy and review protocols received through frequent discussions with our colleague, Dr. Manu Mathur. We will also like to thank the members of the Roadmap to Combat Zoonoses in India (RCZI) initiative for their overall vision and support. RCZI is a multi-institutional partnership that seeks to identify innovative approaches that can help combat, prevent, and control zoonotic infections in the Indian subcontinent.

I figure I should start a thread now before I get too far along and have to backtrack. As it is I've already had the car for 6 weeks, got it Jan 18, 2014. I fully intended on just getting a white base ST, even had the dealer pull it from another local dealer. But at the last minute, literally while signing papers I was stalling, something just didn't feel right. Went back outside to look at it and while doing so, my brother who manages our business said why don't you just get the loaded one. So with a change of paper work I signed for this white loaded ST even though I knew the nav and sunroof wasn't necessary and I actually didn't even care for the red calipers and dark wheels, but the seats made up for a lot of it and now I enjoy having all the options. In the end it's just a little higher payment
Here's when I first got it, tint soon followed.

The Delhi High Court has sought responses from UIDAI, RBI, and Google on a petition which argues that Google Pay is illegally collecting and storing the Aadhaar and bank details of its users, LiveLaw reported.
Chief Justice DN Patel and Justice Jyoti Singh heard the plea filed by Abhijit Mishra on September 15, according to LiveLaw. Mishra's petition, seen by MediaNama, requested the court to order UIDAI to protect the Aadhaar and banking details of citizens from being unlawfully stored by Google Pay. The company, however, told MediaNama that Google Pay does not collect Aadhaar data.
The safety of Aadhaar data of Indian citizens has been a matter of major concern ever since the unique ID was launched in 2016. The petition raises serious questions about the privacy protocols followed around the Aadhaar database, and responses from UIDAI, RBI, and Google might help bring some clarity on the issue.
Google Pay's access to Aadhaar data unconstitutional: PIL
Violation of Aadhaar Act, Right to Privacy: The petition highlights that Google Pay mentioned in its terms of service in 2019 that it can collect and share citizens' Aadhaar data. Mishra argued that Google's access to Aadhaar data violated the rights of Indian citizens:
[…]such heinous, unpardonable and unconstitutional conduct of Respondents – 3 i.e. Google Pay of collecting, storing, and using of the citizens Aadhaar, banking personal data and any communications routed through its servers is in complete contravention of the Aadhaar Act 2016 and is a deemed compromise and violation of the "Fundamental Right of Privacy" — Petition
No permission given by UIDAI or RBI: In the petition, Mishra included RTIs filed with UIDAI and RBI, both of which reveal that they did not permit Google to access Aadhaar data to process payments through the BHIM AADHAAR platform. The lack of such permissions show, the petition said, that Google's access to Aadhaar data is illegal and unconstitutional.
What do Google Pay's Terms of Service say about Aadhaar?
Plans to support Pay to Aadhaar in 2019: The 2019 version of Google Pay's terms of service indicate that Google sought users' Aadhaar data to launch Pay to Aadhaar, a feature released by UPI that would allow users to make payments using just the Aadhaar number of the receiver:
You, hereby expressly consent to and permit Google or its group companies to collect, store and share […] information with respect to the third parties including Bank Account or Aadhaar details. […] Google Pay does not support the Pay to Aadhaar feature, though it may do so in the future with notice to you and in accordance with applicable laws. — Google Pay Terms of Service, 27 February 2019
The Pay to Aadhaar feature, however, was discontinued by the National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI) in 2018, considering the sensitive nature of Aadhaar numbers.
No mention of Aadhaar in latest Terms: The current version of Google Pay's terms of service for India makes no mention of Aadhaar data. Here are the main privacy-related clauses of Google Pay's updated terms of service –
- UPI Transaction Data: Google may share UPI Transaction Data with Merchants, Banks, Third Party Providers, and service providers. Such data will not be used for monetisation by anyone other than Google.
- Bank Account Details: To receive payments on Google Pay, users have to consent to allowing Google to store their bank account number.
- Correspondence Information: Google will collect information about correspondences on Google Pay to improve their services and offer better suggestions to users.
- Access to Messages: Google can access messages on a user's device through automated means to provide enhanced services by Google, like submitting OTPs.
- Retain Deleted Data: Google may retain data that you delete from Google Pay for legal reasons.
No Aadhaar data collected by app: Google
In response to a query sent to Google by MediaNama regarding the PIL, a company spokesperson told us that no Aadhaar data is collected by Google Pay:
The PIL alludes to a feature that was announced under the UPI Guidelines, called 'Pay to Aadhar' in 2017. However, the feature was never made live on Google Pay. Google Pay's terms of service were accordingly amended to reflect that no Aadhar data of users is collected by the app. — Google spokesperson
According to a report by The Economic Times, the company had earlier filed an affidavit in the Delhi High Court on August 2020 in response to a similar PIL, in which it clarified that "Google Pay does not require user's Aadhaar details, in any manner whatsoever and therefore, neither does it require to access the Aadhaar database nor does it have access to the Aadhaar database."
The Delhi High Court has listed the matter of Mishra's PIL for further hearing on November 8.

Taiwan party picks mayor over ex-Foxconn chief for 2020 run
TAIPEI, Taiwan (AP) — Taiwan's main opposition party picked a pro-China populist mayor last week as its candidate for the 2020 presidential race against an incumbent who often bashes Beijing.
The Nationalist Party said Han Kuo-yu had won the presidential primary after opinion poll results gave him a 45 percent support rating. He defeated four other candidates including former Foxconn Technology chairman Terry Gou and will face incumbent Tsai Ing-wen in the January election.
Gou, the billionaire former Foxconn head, came in No. 2 in the field of five candidates with a 28 percent support rating based on opinion polls earlier in the month.
Gou's candidacy attracted interest in overseas business circles, as Foxconn churns out iPhones and other consumer electronics as a contract manufacturer for Apple and other major brands.
Gou left the company a short time after it inked a deal in Wisconsin with then Gov. Scott Walker, where the company will reap $4.5 billion in tax credits, infrastructure investments and direct cash payments from the state. So far, that deal has been under much scrutiny.
Gou founded the firm 45 years ago and built it by investing heavily in factories around China to tap into the vast, cheap labor pool there.
China and Taiwan have been separately ruled since 1949, but Beijing still claims sovereignty over the island and occasionally threatens use of force to take it, if needed. A Taiwan government public opinion survey in January showed that most Taiwanese prefer self-rule.
Candidates focused on economic improvement will get the most votes in the presidential election, said Ku Chung-hua, a retired sociology professor and standing board member with the Taiwan advocacy group Citizens' Congress Watch.
"I still think the economy will carry more weight than China this time around," Ku said. "China matters, including Hong Kong, will make people feel on guard, but when they vote for a president, they'll hope to change their own lives and voting will follow that direction."
Taiwan's GDP growth is expected to slow this year to 2.2 percent from 2.6 percent in 2018. Common Taiwanese often fret over salaries and housing costs.
"We're most afraid for the next generation of youth," Han said at a news conference Monday after winning the primary. "Tsai Ing-wen has been in power for three years, but I'd really like to know what she's done."
China-born Han, 62, was a Nationalist Party lawmaker from 1993 to 2002. He once managed a company that markets Taiwanese farm products. He lost a bid two years ago to become the chairman of his party.
Han traveled to Hong Kong, Macau, Shenzhen and Xiamen to sign the agricultural product deals. He visited the United States a month later to speak at two universities and meet members of Congress, and sought to encourage American investment in Kaohsiung.

Sam Roberts recently interviewed WWE Superstar Darren Young for the Sam Roberts Wrestling Podcast in which Young revealed how CM Punk reacted to his story of coming out publicly as a gay man to TMZ.
"Him and I had like a love/hate relationship. He was a little rough around the edges, but to be honest with you, one thing about Punk if I could talk about him for just a second, when he had his match with Brock Lesnar in 2013 that was a couple days after I made my announcement to TMZ. After this brutal match with Brock Lesnar, he was all iced up and I hadn't seen him since I made my announcement. So he came up to me in catering and told me to stand up in front of people. I stood up and he gave me a hug. He said, 'I'm proud of you and if you ever have any problem with anyone in the locker room, you let me know. I have your back…' It was very genuine and I thanked him for that."

- What is biodegradability?
- Why is biodegradability important?
- What are non-biodegradable plastics?

What are the applications of biodegradable plastic?
Biodegradable plastics are beneficial to both humans and the environment. Biodegradable plastics are made from plant-based materials like sugarcane, sugar beets or corn starch.
Although, the effects of bioplastics on the environment are open to scientific scrutiny as some factors make it subtly equivocal. However, the utilitarian aspect of bioplastics is as blunt as the impacts of non-biodegradable plastics.
Biodegradable plastics are used in many applications such as accessories, food stuff and medical implants. The global market is expected to have crossed the 40 billion dollars threshold.
What is biodegradability?
Biodegradability is a process through which complex materials are broken down into simple materials by the action of microbes. These microbes can be bacteria, fungi, viruses, protozoa, and even yeast.
The process of biodegradability can be called a natural dustbin because it is nature's way to ensure that there is no waste accumulation in the environment. It is coded in the profile of nature that waste has harmful impacts on the environment.
The harmful impacts of waste are not just restricted to the environment but also the life that resides within it. If there is no biodegradation, there will be waste and deterioration of life and our atmosphere, in short, a global catastrophe.
Regarding biodegradability, it is generally thought that there are two types of waste. These are biodegradable and non-biodegradable.
As the name suggests, biodegradable waste can be broken down by the action of microbes. This waste can be plant-based or animal-based wastes. Other examples of this waste will include:
- Food waste
- Animal waste
- Human waste
- Paper waste
- Manure
- Sewage
- Hospital waste
- Dead plants
- Biopolymers
On the other hand, non-biodegradable waste is a type of waste which can not be degraded by the action of microbes. Such a type of waste is usually not found in nature. This means that non-biodegradable waste is mostly made or synthesised in the lab. Examples of non-biodegradable waste may be:
- Electronic waste
- Plastics
- Polyvinyl Chloride
- Nuclear waste
- Hazardous waste
- Chemical waste
- Hospital waste
- Synthetic resins
- Synthetic fibres
- Dyneema
What are non-biodegradable plastics?
Conventional plastic is a very important example of non-biodegradable waste and perhaps the most significant too. The issue of plastic contamination and plastic accumulation has taken the entire world into its grip.
It is synthesised in the lab through the polymerisation process often using fossil fuels like crude oil.
The use of plastic dates back to the start of the 20th century; however, the use was increased by manifolds after the second world war. The world recognised the importance of plastic as its uses ranged in all fields and all sciences.
With increased consumerism, more plastic started to be used or perhaps misused. It is cited that a single plastic bag may be used for a span of some minutes to several hours yet it takes almost forever to degrade it.
Regardless of the negative impacts of plastic, it is still used in many parts of the world largely because it is cheap and is of good use. Statistics reveal that single-use plastics amount to almost half of the total plastics production.
As per the stats, the production of plastic is expected to rise to up to 1000 million tons by as early as 2050. However, this production figure was less than 3 million back in the 1950s. This exemplifies the extreme misuse of plastic.
This increased use does a lot of harm to the environment at all levels. Much non-biodegradable plastic (around 8 million tons every year) ends up in the oceans which leads to the death of millions of aquatic animals and thus disrupts the food chains.
The plastic that ends up in the seas and oceans is converted to microplastic by sunlight, wind and water waves. This microplastic is accumulated in literally every corner of the world. It may be reiterated that plastics may take more than 400 years to break down.
It is reported that as many as 700 species have been affected by plastic either through consumption or entanglement. The consumption of plastic results in the death of animals. The consumption of plastics also causes liver damage and reproductive complications in animals.
What are the impacts of non-biodegradable plastic?
The need for biodegradable waste has already been asserted and made fervent in the last section. Here we will assess some of the impacts that non-biodegradable plastic has on the environment.
These effects can be:
- Pollution
- Global warming
- GHG emissions
- Rise in temperature
- A rise in sea levels
- Melting glaciers
- More floods
- Frequent droughts
- Unprecedented weather patterns
- Insects attacks
- Land degradation
- Food shortage
- Food security concerns
- Species endangerment
- Infiltration into the food chains
- Loss of aquatic life
- Accumulation of plastics
- Disruptions of ecosystems
However, it may also be asserted that the effects of non-biodegradable waste are not just limited to the environment, they are also impactful on health as well. Below are the common health issues that arise from non-biodegradable plastic:
- Abnormality
- Reproductive complications
- Hormonal issues
- Damage to foetus
- Necrosis
- Skin damage
- Eye allergies
- Organ defects
- Cancer
- Mutation
- Psychological complication
- Depression
- Anxiety
- Neuro-toxicity
- Neurological complications
These are some of the issues that are caused by the existence of non-biodegradable waste. In the light of mentioned facts, it is proposed that non-biodegradable waste is blunt harm and a threat to life and life-supporting systems.
What is biodegradable plastic?
Biodegradable plastics are made from naturally occurring substances that may include plants such as cornstarch or sugar cane. Since these bio-based plastics are sourced from nature, they can biodegrade to become a part of nature again.
The story of biodegradable plastic originated after the invention of conventional plastic and its increased use, primarily after the industrialisation era. This increase in use caused great harm to many aspects of life and the environment.
With the advent of increased industrialisation, consumerism, and urbanisation; unimaginable amounts of plastic were used and consumed causing almost equal negative impacts on life, health and the environment.
The use of conventional plastic has caused an immense impact on the environment. Plastic is converted into microplastic by the action of sunlight and other drivers that cause the death of organisms by entering their bodies.
Biodegradable plastics are made from natural materials such as wheat, sugar cane or cornstarch. These plastics are made by converting sugars present in the plants into plastics.
The source of this sugar can be sugar cane, sugar beets, wheat, and potatoes. This selection varies from region to region depending upon the availability.
Generally, there are two types of biodegradable plastics that are produced. These are PHA (Polyhydroxyalkanoate) and PLA (Polyactideacid).
Since these biodegradable plastics are made from natural materials, they can degrade in a short span of time as compared to conventional plastic bags which may require hundreds of years to degrade.
What are the applications of biodegradable plastic?
This section of the article will cover the applications of biodegradable plastic. The applications of biodegradable plastic or bioplastic can be explained through two frames. One is the advantages that bioplastics deliver to the environment. The other is the advantages that bioplastics deliver to humans.
As per the first aspect, we have already detailed what are the various detrimental impacts of conventional plastics that are made from the polymerisation process and involve fossils.
The use of bioplastics implies that fossil fuels are not used and thus, the negative impacts are not given off to the environment. However, this aspect is still open to a lot of debate.
Some researchers say that even though bioplastics are degradable, they still may take more than three years to degrade. Also, the toxic effects of bioplastics are also under consideration.
Regardless of this dichotomy, the environmental impacts of biodegradable plastics is unequivocal. Although there is some element of subtlety, the impacts are not as blunt as the conventional plastics.
Regarding the second aspect, which is the utilitarian value of biodegradable plastics, it is asserted that the utilitarian value of biodegradable plastics is similar to that of conventional plastics. There is no tradeoff here. It is owing to these uses that the global market of bioplastics is at 40 billion dollars.
Some of the common uses of biodegradable plastics include:
- Packaging
- Containers
- Straws
- Bags
- Bottles
- 3d printing
- Medicinal applications
Why is biodegradability important?
After a detailed introduction to what biodegradability is, you may wonder why biodegradability is an urgent matter. It is believed that the statistical assertions are fervent enough to answer this curiosity.
The world's population stands at around 7.8 billion and is expected to cross the threshold of 11 billion in the years to come. As far as waste production is concerned, it is estimated that an average person makes more than 4-5 kgs of waste per day.
If you do the maths, the results are beyond staggering. The global waste production stands at a whopping 2 billion tons which may reach up to 3 billion tons in the coming time. More than 40% of the produced waste is not discarded properly and is disposed of in open dumps.
To further exacerbate the situation, if more non-biodegradable waste is generated as compared to biodegradable waste, then this simply implies our doomsday.
There will be no space left to keep and treat the waste products and this will affect every life that is out there in the world, not to mention the effects on our future.
This approach is bluntly opposite to what the principles of sustainability are. Sustainability preaches to be useful in the present in a way that the future generations' needs are not sacrificed.
That is why biodegradability is an urgent matter. We need to shift toward biodegradable waste both as a consumer and as a human because otherwise, there is no way out.
Further, given the current context of science and technology, it is easily possible to shift to biodegradable waste. As the environmental concern rises, more and more people and producers are shifting towards sustainability and eco-friendliness.
As a result, biodegradability and sustainability have become easy options to opt for without going the extra mile. Popular examples can be bio-based plastics, bio-polymers, natural fertilisers, renewable sources of energy et cetera.
It is concluded that biodegradable plastics are beneficial to both humans and the environment.
Although, the effects of bioplastics on the environment are open to scientific scrutiny as some factors make it subtly equivocal. Whereas, the utilitarian aspect of bioplastics is as blunt as the impacts of non-biodegradable plastics.
Biodegradable plastics are used in many applications such as bags, straws and medical implants. The global market is expected to have crossed the 40 billion dollars threshold.
Frequently asked questions: What are the applications of biodegradable plastic?
How long does biodegradable plastic take to degrade?
It may take up to three years for biodegradable plastic to degrade.
Is biodegradable plastic the same as bioplastic?
Yes, fundamentally there is no difference. Biodegradable plastics are made from plant-based materials like corn starch or sugar cane and that is why they are called bioplastics as well.

Military doctrines and doctrinal reflections occupy a major place in
the important transformations that the French Armed Forces have
experienced since the 1990s. The goal of the article is to contribute to
the doctrinal debate by raising three questions. First of all, it is necessary
to define military doctrines and to highlight their strategic and
political implications. Then, the main characteristics of the renewal
of doctrinal reflection in France, in particular for the land forces
since 1999, are presented. Finally, the article offers a critical reflection
regarding the very notion of war in society on the one hand and the
relationships between political and military logics on the other.

This morning I woke up and i have pelvic pain today. Very uncomfortable. Even my lower left side is bothering me. Got be the change of weather going from cold to warm back and fourth. Took a Zantac for my hernia and Claritin for allergies and uti's cause around this time of year I get them seasonal. Gets frustrating. Wish I didn't have more than just one thing. Had oatmeal for breakfast cause was mushy.
