Landfill leachate tests reveal divergent fates of biodegradable plastics
Summary
Even among plastics labeled "biodegradable," some break down readily while others persist for long periods. In experiments using landfill leachate, a collaborative research team led by the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) demonstrated these differences and identified candidate microorganisms and enzymes potentially involved in plastic degradation.
