Abstract:The plastic waste crisis is catalyzing change across the plastics life cycle. Central to this is increased production and application of bioplastics and biodegradable plastics. In particular, poly(hydroxybutyrate) (PHB) is a biodegradable bioplastic that can be produced from various renewable and waste feedstocks and is a promising alternative to some petrochemical-derived and nonbiodegradable plastics. Despite its advantages, PHB biodegradation depends on environmental conditions, and the effects of degradati… Show more
