Why Biodegradable Ordinary plastics don't disintegrate. Rubbish and dump waste take a long time to decompose. Litter is also visual pollution, a problem that organisations and educational programs have failed to extinguish. In landfills, not only do conventional packaging degrade very slowly but also...
Other examples are paramylon from microalgae, glucomannan isolated from the tubers of Amorphophallus konjac, and chitin or chitosan from crustacean shells. In addition, polysaccharides with different glycosidic linkages and molecular structures, including the non-natural polysaccharide mutan linked by α...
Cardboard Packaging Cardboard is a common biodegradable packaging, which can be made from a broad range of fibrous and biodegradable materials, such as grass straw, wood, bamboo, cotton, and recycled waste paper. The shape, sizes, thickness, dimensions, tensility, layers, the water absorption ra...
The target technology is the production of materials with tailored properties from these biocompatible and biodegradable precursors in a sustainable way, following the waste valorization Acknowledgements C.A. García-González acknowledges the Spanish Ministry of Education for the financial support through a...
It is known that biodegradable resins are readily susceptible to degradation in water and soil without producing harmful substances. In consequence, the biodegradable resins have been worldwide noticed from the viewpoint of environmental protection such as waste disposal treatments. Among them, biodegradab...
And according to the description of the French law, it is hard to see how a 100% biodegradable urn could be considered “abusive”. We think not, since the ashes give birth to a tree, which is good for the planet and leaves absolutely no traces, therefore zero waste....

As an environmentally friendly and sustainable approach to solving these problems, biodegradable membranes have been introduced, especially to reduce the amount of waste disposal. Under favorable conditions in the environment in terms of pH, humidity, and temperature, biodegradable membranes are broken ...
As mentioned above, various types of biodegradable polymers are utilized in numerous fields ranging from agricultural to biomedical applications. As citizens become more conscious of the importance of waste disposal and ecological preservation, biodegradable polymer usage is expected to increase and eventuall...
