Summary
Researchers found that burying starch-based bioplastic and oxo-LDPE in compost soil produced contrasting shifts in soil bacterial communities over time, suggesting these materials follow distinct degradation pathways that may have different long-term consequences for soil health.
The introduction of starch-based bioplastic and oxo-LDPE led to contrasting shift in soil bacterial population overtime, which may determine their fate in the environment.
