I'm really really confused..So, biodegradable plastics are submerged into soil for it to break down, right?What does it have that makes the soil break it down?(And what does the soil have that could break a biodegradable object?)I'm really confused. Please help?THANK YOU. lt;3
biodegradable plastic is mixture of starch and plastic.
Biodegradable plastics are made from plant products. I have some corn plastic cups and bags. Plastics were made from petroleum .
Biodegradable plastics are plastics that will decompose in natural aerobic (composting) and anaerobic (landfill) environments. Biodegradation of plastics can be achieved by enabling microorganisms in the environment to metabolize the molecular structure of plastic films to produce an inert humus-like material that is less harmful to the environment. They may be composed of either bioplastics, which are plastics whose components are derived from renewable raw materials, or petroleum-based plastics which utilize an additive. The use of bio-active compounds compounded with swelling agents ensures that, when combined with heat and moisture, they expand the plastic's molecular structure and allow the bio-active compounds to metabolize and neutralize the plastic. I strongly recommend you look at the link provided.
