Carnivorous plants can decompose the polyesters poly(ethylene terephthalate) and poly(butylene adipate terephthalate)

Scientific Reports
Plants from the Nepenthes genus, which enumerates approximately 120 species, possess specialized pitchers enabling them to capture and digest various preys, mainly arthropods, from which the plants derive nutrients.

Soil C-N and Microbial Community Were Altered by Polybutylene Adipate Terephthalate Microplastics

Journal of Hazardous Materials
The risks posed by biodegradable plastics to the plant-soil system have been increasingly studied due to potentially hazardous effects on soil properties and nutrient cycling. In this study, we investigated the effects of Poly (butylene adipate-co-terephthalate) microplastics (PBAT-MPs) on soil carbon, nitrogen and microbial communities under different
