چکیده
Reverte oxo-biodegradable additive masterbatch and bags are not compliant to the criteria stated in AS4736 which is an Australian Standard® Biodegradable plastics—Biodegradable plastics suitable for composting and other microbial treatment documents. Well Plastics UK are in the same opinion as the Oxo-biodegradable Plastics Association that bio-based is the wrong technology (reason is as attached). Composting is an artificial process operated according to a much shorter timescale than the processes of nature, and EN13432 itself says that is not appropriate for waste which may end up in the environment through uncontrolled means.

Biofilm and Diatom Succession on Polyethylene (PE) and Biodegradable Plastic Bags in Two Marine Habitats: Early Signs of Degradation in the Pelagic and Benthic Zone?
The production of biodegradable plastic is increasing. Given the augmented littering of these products an increasing input into the sea is expected. Previous laboratory experiments have shown that degradation of plastic starts within days to weeks. Little is known about the early composition and activity of biofilms found on biodegradable and conventional plastic debris and its correlation to d...
متن کاملPlant-based material, protein and biodegradable plastic.
Fibrous proteins from spiders, proteins with synthetic multiple repeats and mammalian structural proteins such as collagen have been produced in transgenic plants. Recent advances in the production of biodegradable plastic in plants also show the potential of molecular farming for research into and production of materials. Selection of a growing variety of such products, optimization of express...
متن کاملDegradation of Oxo-Biodegradable Plastic by Pleurotus ostreatus
Growing concerns regarding the impact of the accumulation of plastic waste over several decades on the environmental have led to the development of biodegradable plastic. These plastics can be degraded by microorganisms and absorbed by the environment and are therefore gaining public support as a possible alternative to petroleum-derived plastics. Among the developed biodegradable plastics, oxo...
متن کاملDraft Genome Sequence of the Fungus Paraphoma sp. B47-9, a Producer of a Biodegradable Plastic–Degrading Enzyme
Paraphoma sp. B47-9 is a producer of a biodegradable plastic-degrading enzyme. Here, we report the draft genome sequence of this strain. The draft genome assembly has a size of 39.3 Mb with a GC content of 52.4% and consists of 185 scaffolds.
متن کاملMacrofouling communities and the degradation of plastic bags in the sea: an in situ experiment
The increasing amount of plastic littered into the sea may provide a new substratum for benthic organisms. These marine fouling communities on plastic have not received much scientific attention. We present, to our knowledge, the first comprehensive analysis of their macroscopic community composition, their primary production and the polymer degradation comparing conventional polyethylene (PE) ...
