Evaluating the Ready Biodegradability of Biodegradable Plastics
Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry, 2021Abstract 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 ...

Widespread studies on the biodegradation of plastics have been carried out in order to overcome the environmental problems associated with synthetic plastic waste. Recent work has included studies of the distribution of synthetic polymer-degrading microorganisms in the environment, the isolation of new microorganisms for biodegradation, the discovery ...

The advantages of biodegradable plastics over other types of plastics are their ability to biodegrade at the end of their life. But this additional property is of value only if proper handling of such materials is applied, that is, if they are disposed of under such conditions that enable their biological decomposition.

The use of plastics is increasing gradually, and its degradation is becoming a great threat for society. This chapter raises a question in front of us: Ultimately, how can we balance our needs and safety? Therefore, a term biodegradation is frequently used to explain the ability of microorganism to degrade the organic substance.

BioScience, 1992
In the United States, approximately 25 million tons of plastic household waste is discarded every year (US EPA 1990). Most of this waste ends up in the nation's landfills, where it can remain undegraded for decades or longer. In recent years, concern with a perceived garbage crisis has grown as landfill capacity diminishes and sites for new landfills ...
