Pretreatment and Anaerobic Co-digestion of Selected PHB and PLA Bioplastics
Frontiers in Environmental Science, 2018 Conventional petroleum-derived plastics are recalcitrant to biodegradation and can be problematic as they accumulate in the environment. In contrast, it may be possible to add novel, biodegradable bioplastics to anaerobic digesters at municipal water ...
