Biomechanical Recycling of Plastic Waste Using Tenebrio Molitor Larvae

Insect larvae eat plastics and can take part in biomechanical recycling, breaking down polymers in their intestinal tract. The objective of the research was to biodegrade waste vinyl (PVC) gloves for domestic use using Tenebrio molitor larvae. For this, the mass of plastic waste was recorded on days...
