Summary

Researchers reviewed advances in biodegradable plastics — including emerging technologies for faster and more complete breakdown — as a potential solution to growing microplastic contamination from conventional plastics. Replacing traditional plastics with materials that fully degrade could reduce the long-term buildup of plastic particles in soils, water, and living organisms.

Over the past decades, plastics’ growing interest and manufacturing have jeopardized numerous lives and pristine environments due to their accumulation and persistent contamination of degraded small plastic particles called microplastics (MPs). Hence, plastic...
