Evaluating the Ready Biodegradability of Biodegradable Plastics

Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry, 2021
Abstract Reducing the environmental burden and assessing the safety of plastics are huge global challenges. However, standard test data on the ready biodegradability of plastics are limited. We evaluated the ready biodegradability of 8 biodegradable plastics using Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) test ...

Biodegradability and biodegradation of poly(lactide)

Applied Microbiology and Biotechnology, 2006
Poly(lactide) (PLA) has been developed and made commercially available in recent years. One of the major tasks to be taken before the widespread application of PLA is the fundamental understanding of its biodegradation mechanisms. This paper provides a short overview on the biodegradability and biodegradation of PLA.

Biodegradability and Biodegradation of Polyesters

Journal of Polymers and the Environment, 2007
A variety of biodegradable plastics have been developed in order to obtain useful materials that do not cause harm to the environment. Among the biodegradable plastics, aliphatic polyesters such as: poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) (PHB), poly(e-caprolactone) (PCL), poly(butylene succinate) (PBS), and poly(l-lactide) (PLA) have become the focus of interest ...

Biodegradability

Proceedings of the Royal Society of London. Series B. Biological Sciences, 1974
Abstract The significance of biodegradability in the treatment and discharge of waste waters to natural bodies of water is discussed. Various methods of assessing biodegradability are described and their limitations illustrated by a consideration of the characteristics of bacterial growth and metabolism, including the phenomenon of co-

The biodegradation of hydroquinone

Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry, 1982
AbstractHydroquinone is readily degraded by an acclimated activated sludge unit when present at concentrations of 100 mg/L in synthetic photographic or synthetic domestic wastes. A number of pure cultures of yeasts, fungi, and bacteria were isolated from soil and sludges which can utilize hydroquinone as a sole carbon source.1,4-Benzoquinone, 2-hydroxy-
