Bioplastics: How Biodegradable Are They?

From the Piacenza’s campus of Università Cattolica comes a survey on biodegradable bioplastics developed by the Faculty of Agriculture, Food, and Environmental Sciences. The study is about the degradation of two of the bioplastics most widely available on the market today: bags for the separate collection of wetwaste, made up of a starch-based mixture, and bottles of polylactic acid (PLA).Listen to the voice of Francesca Bandini, PhD student at the Doctoral School on the Agro-Food System and first author of the study.
