2017年1月1日 · This review highlights the recent findings attributed to the biodegradation of bioplastics in various environments, environmental conditions, degree of biodegradation, including the identified bioplastic-degrading microorganisms from different microbial communities.

2023年1月28日 · As a biodegradable alternative to petroleum-derived plastics, bioplastics are becoming more and more prevalent and have the potential to make a significant contribution to reducing plastic pollution in the environment. Meanwhile, their biodegradation is highly dependent on their environment.

2023年4月1日 · The main indicators used for the evaluation of bioplastics’ biodegradation consist in: the definition of the mass loss, the visual inspection of the tested material, the degree of disintegration, the discoloration, the changes within the morphology and structure of the biopolymer and the evaluation of the soluble components released by ...

2022年1月1日 · The effect of particle size on the bioplastic biodegradation extent and rate was investigated under aerobic and anaerobic conditions for PHB, PHBV and PCL (the latter only under aerobic conditions).

2024年7月10日 · To comprehend the full spectrum of environmental issues caused by the degradation of bioplastics, this review discusses about the classifications of bioplastics and presents an understanding of biodegradable plastic materials either fossil or biobased, and their environmental ramifications.

2020年7月27日 · More specifically, biodegradable bioplastics are the polymers that are mineralized into carbon dioxide, methane, water, inorganic compounds, or biomass through the enzymatic action of specific microorganisms. They could, therefore, be a suitable and environmentally friendly substitute to conventional petrochemical plastics.

2023年12月17日 · This review aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the biodegradation of bioplastics in different environmental conditions and by microorganisms and their ecotoxicological impacts on soil and marine health.

2023年1月28日 · This review aims to gather information about the biodegradation of bioplastics in diverse environments and to discuss it to examine the compostability rate of different types of bioplastics ...

2024年3月23日 · Fungal degradation of bioplastics depends upon several physical, microbiological, and characteristic features of the polymer. The fungal strain-mediated biodegradation of bioplastics leads to the release of natural inorganic and inorganic compounds that do not negatively impact microbial diversity, nutrient cycle, and nitrogen content in the soil.

Bioplastics are obtained from renewable and sustainable biomass and have a lower carbon footprint and emit fewer greenhouse gases than petroleum-based plastics. The use of these bioplastics sourced from renewable biomass can also reduce the dependency on fossil fuels, which are limited in availability.
