Do the degradable/biodegradable plastic materials decompose in domestic compost bin?

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Biodegradation of plastic materials advertised as degradable/biodegradable or certified as compostable was tested in composting conditions (domestic compost bin). This study was carried out in order to assess the biodegradability of the samples under real conditions of home composting, and to find out whether there were any physical changes in terms of their thickness when exposed to natural composting environment. The samples were obtained from retail chains in the Czech Republic, Poland, Slovakia andthe UK. The experimental samples were placed in home compost bins and were checked and visually assessed during the experiment, which lasted 14 weeks. From the results it can be concluded that the polyethylene samples with the additive (samples A, B andE)have not decomposed, their colour has not changed and that no degradation neither physical changes has occurred. Samples C, F have not decomposed. Samples certified as compostable G, H and I have not decomposed. Sample D exhibited the h
