Degradation of Structurally Modified Polylactide under the Controlled Composting of Food Waste

Degradation of Structurally Modified Polylactide under the Controlled Composting of Food Waste

The degradation of polylactide (PLA) films of different structures under conditions of controlled composting has been studied. We have demonstrated that PLA underwent degradation within one month in a substrate that simulated standard industrial composting. Regardless of the initial structure of the...
