Overview

This research assesses the biodegradation of biopolymers in composting, suggesting material composition affects degradation efficiency.

Key Points

  • PLA-based materials degraded by 47.46–98.34% under controlled composting conditions, demonstrating high biodegradation rates.
  • PBS-based materials showed a degradation degree of 34.15–80.36%, indicating variability in performance relative to PLA.
  • Analysis via scanning electron microscopy provided insights into the physical changes in bioplastics after degradation testing.
  • Findings support the potential for bioplastics to reduce waste, emphasizing the importance of optimizing formulations and composting systems.
