Microbial Consortia in the Remediation of Single-Use Waste: The Case of Face Masks

Microbial Consortia in the Remediation of Single-Use Waste: The Case of Face Masks

This study presents the results of evaluating hydrocarbonoclastic consortia in the biodegradation of microplastics derived from single-use, triple-layered polypropylene face masks. The choice of this carbon source was driven by the need to address the increase in single-use waste generated during th...
