Biodegradability of Plastics [PDF]
International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2009 Plastic is a broad name given to different polymers with high molecular weight, which can be degraded by various processes. However, considering their abundance in the environment and their specificity in attacking plastics, biodegradation of plastics by microorganisms and enzymes seems to be the most effective process.
