Degradation of PLA in Sewage Sludge and Methods of its Determination
Original language description
Because pollution by plastics was declared as one of the most critical environmental problem of our time, to mitigate the environmental impact, plastics are slowly being replaced by bioplastics in many applications. Bioplastics are considered to by polymeric materials that comes from renewable sources, are recyclable and/or biodegradable. However, the biodegradation of bioplastics is largely dependent on both the material itself and the environment in which the biodegradation takes place and therefore complete degradation often occurs only in industrial composts. In the environment only partial degradation and/or fragmentation of bioplasts into micro and nanoplastics occuresaster than is common with conventional plastics. In the case of microplastics (MPs) contamination, wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) represent the link between the natural and anthropogenic water cycle. WWTPs are considered to be MPs receptors from domestic and industrial wastewater. As the technological line of wastewater treatm
