Summary

Researchers developed a multi-stage processing method for polyethylene terephthalate and polystyrene household plastic waste, incorporating the materials into film-forming compositions used to encapsulate granular mineral fertilizers. The study confirmed that polymer shell residues safely biodegraded in soil after fertilizer dissolution, demonstrating a viable pathway for converting plastic waste into agricultural inputs.

We have carried out research on multi-stage handling of polyethylene terephthalate and polystyrene household waste. The method has been developed for both their safe utilization in manufacturing technologies and the use of encapsulated mineral fertilizers. The technical feasibility of implementing all stages of plastic waste processing has been defined: separate collection, creation of a film-forming composition, encapsulation of granular fertilizers. Our study has confirmed the safe biodegradation of polymer shell residues in the soil environment after the dissolution of the fertilizers. The proposed method of handling of these wastes is a method of their safe utilization.
