Aerobic Biodegradation of Algae-Derived Bioplastics Under Controlled Composting Conditions
Summary
Researchers tested whether bioplastics derived from microalgae biofilms grown on municipal wastewater could fully biodegrade under controlled composting conditions, examining whether this sustainable feedstock pathway produces materials that break down on par with conventional biodegradable plastics.
Background The scale of environmental damage caused by plastic pollution highlights the need to implement sustainably sourced biodegradable plastics within the global economy. Microalgae biofilms cultivated on rotating algae biofilm reactors using municipal wastewater a...
