New publication in Environmental Science & Technology sheds light on the biodegradability of compostable plastics

11.07.2023

A new study in collaboration with BASF has been published in the journal Environmental Science & Technology, revealing promising findings on the biodegradability of compostable plastics.

The study found that compostable plastics effectively disintegrate under industrial composting conditions without leaving behind particulate fragments of any size, addressing concerns about the potential accumulation of persistent microplastics in compost. The research sheds light on the environmental behavior of compostable plastics, supporting the development of sustainable waste management practices.
