Summary
This study combined nanoplastic characterization techniques with a metabolomics approach to assess how well biodegradable polymers actually break down in the environment, examining metabolic signatures of degradation. Understanding the true biodegradation rate of plastics marketed as biodegradable is essential for evaluating their environmental benefit over conventional persistent plastics.
