Environmental risk assessment of polyhydroxybutyrate micro-bioplastics – summary of project results
Original language description
Mankind invests significant amount of resources and effort to decrease micro-plastics production; one of the solutions is replacement the conventional plastics by biodegradable plastics. However, the conditions for biodegradation are not always met in real environment, thus the degradation of the bioplastics is slow or incomplete and paradoxically it leads to the micro-bioplastics formation [1]. The adverse ecotoxicological effects of conventional micro-plastics on living organisms are known, but the micro-bioplastics are almost overlooked [2]. There is also lack of articles describing the effect of both micro-plastics and micro-bioplastics on soil abiotic processes [3]. We tried to address this issue by analyzing the effect of polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) micro-bioplastics and polyethyleneterephtalate (PET) microplastics. The aim was to assess I) the effects of PHB micro-bioplastics on soil structure, II) the effect of PHB on soil megafauna, and III) how the biodegradation of bioplastics effects the nut
