Summary

Researchers reviewed the growing case for switching to biodegradable polymers as a solution to the trillions of tonnes of plastic already polluting the environment, examining how degradable materials work and where they can realistically replace conventional plastics across industries.

More than three trillion tonnes of macro-plastics and microplastics dumped into our environment causes irreversible damage to our ecosystem. Removing these non-biodegradable materials is beyond the skill of the human capacity even with the best available...
