In the recent years, a growing attention has addressed to compostable and biodegradable polymers, in order to reduce plastic pollution. arding these latter, very few data on their biodegradability and toxicity in the marine environment are available as well as on their impact on marine invertebrates. In this study, we investigated the behaviour and degradation of five biodegradable polymers (BPs): Poly(butylene succinate) (PBS); Poly(butylene succinate-co-adipate) (PBSA); Polycaprolactone (PCL); Polyhydroxy butyrate (PHB); Polylactic acid (PLA) in marine environment.

Abstract
In the recent years, a growing attention has addressed to compostable and biodegradable polymers, in order to reduce plastic pollution. arding these latter, very few data on their biodegradability and toxicity in the marine environment are available as well as on their impact on marine invertebrates. In this study, we investigated the behaviour and degradation of five biodegradable polymers (BPs): Poly(butylene succinate) (PBS); Poly(butylene succinate-co-adipate) (PBSA); Polycaprolactone (PCL); Polyhydroxy butyrate (PHB); Polylactic acid (PLA) in marine environment.File in questo prodotto:
