摘要

This review presents the first comparative analysis of functional chemical additives in various types of single-use plastics (SUPs). These plastics, commonly used in industries like packaging, food service, and healthcare, contain additives such as stabilizers, colorants, flame retardants, and plasticizers to enhance their flexibility, durability, and appearance. However, many of these additives are not chemically bonded to the polymer matrix and can leach out during the plastic's life cycle, posing risks to human health and the environment. The review explores the functional characteristics, mechanisms, and benefits of these additives, and highlights recent advances in bio-based and additive-free alternatives. The study also uses the AGREEMIP tool to assess the greenness of the synthesis processes for various SUP products, ranking them in the order of environmental safety: disposable plastic containers for hedgehogs > disposable plastic dances > disposable glasses and plates > drinking straws and sticks > plastic bags.
