New Meta-Study Highlights That Hydrolysis Prevents the Formation of Persistent PLA Microplastics in the Environment
A systematic review of published scientific literature conducted by HYDRA Marine Sciences finds that in the presence of water or humidity, the bioplastic polylactic acid (PLA) will fully hydrolyze, and no persistent nano- or microplastics will remain or accumulate in the environment
New updated version of the poster on Biodegradable Polymers in Various Environments According to Established Standards and Certification Schemes
In this new version of the poster, a further biodegradable polyester "polycaprolactone (PCL)" has been added, which can be compounded with a large variety of biodegradable polymers
Poster update: Biodegradable Polymers in Various Environments According to Established Standards and Certification Schemes
The biodegradation of materials is a complex process that depends mainly on the environmental conditions in which the materials end up after their use. Additionally, only a handful of polymers will be able to biodegrade in different environments.
