The Ultimate Biodegradation of the Starch Based Biodegradable Plastics

Advanced Materials Research, 2012
The objective of this work was to investigate the ultimate aerobic biodegradation of poly (lactic acid) (PLA) and poly (butylene adipate-co-terephthalate) (PBAT), with and without the starch according to ISO14855-1: 2004. The degree of biodegradation for 120 days of PLA, PLA/starch (50:50), PBAT and PBAT/starch (50:50) were 85.75%, 93.60%, 23.71% and ...

New perspectives in plastic biodegradation

Current Opinion in Biotechnology, 2011
During the past 50 years new plastic materials, in various applications, have gradually replaced the traditional metal, wood, leather materials. Ironically, the most preferred property of plastics--durability--exerts also the major environmental threat.

Photo-biodegradable plastics

1995
The technical requirements of degradable plastics are considered in the light of public concerns about their use and misuse in waste and litter control. Essential requirements are that the degradation process should be controllable and that it should lead to lower molar mass oxidation products which can be assimilated by microorganisms to give biomass ...

Evaluation of biodegradability of biodegradable plastics in activated sludge

1994
The biodegradability of seven plastics was measured according to MITI test, OECD Guidelines for Testing of Chemicals No. 301C, in order to examine an applicability of the ready biodegradation test to biodegradable plastics. In addition to MITI test sludge, fresh sewage sludge was used as an inoculum to compare the biodegradability by both sludges.
