The effect of the new bioproduct in form granulate and liquid concentrate on PLA biodegradation during industrial composting was investigated. analysis included compost parameters, mass loss, structural changes (SEM) chemical properties (FTIR-ATR, O/C ratio). effectiveness bioproduct, especially form, accelerating degradation improvingcompost confirmed what matters for sustainable waste management.
The development of the plastics industry, pro-ecological directives and environmental problems related to decomposition biodegradable create necessity develop a way properly manage waste from materials that should not be deposited in environment. A bioproduct has been developed used for accelerating biodegradation polymer materials. includes carefully selected microorganisms enzymes. It observed metabolic activity bacteria increases significantly presence plastic material, causing...
The literature indicates that the source of microorganisms with potential polymer biodegradation may be in particular anthropogenically degraded areas such as landfills, contaminated former factories and processing plants. These environments often contain waste, especially form microplastics. Biodegradation is a significant microbiological process which bacteria or fungi hydrolytic activity are essential. Polylactide (PLA) one most commonly used biodegradable materials. Its mesophilic...

In this work, the physicomechanical, chemical and thermal properties of low-density polyethylene (LDPE) modified with a biocide containing metal nanoparticles: nanoAg, nanoCu, nanoFe2O3 were examined. The presented studies, apart from previously proven antimicrobial effectiveness, have shown that application in concentrations 0.5% 1% has least influence on remaining properties. (2–5%), despite lack significant structure, primarily influenced strength melt flow rate (MFR). Previous research...
