DOI: 10.1016/j.jclepro.2021.128555
Abstract: Abstract Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs), comprising a broad range of bio-based polymeric materials, are natural biodegradable polyesters formed by microorganisms. The simplest, best characterized and extensively studied member of the PHAs family is Poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) (PHB). PHB is… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/polym15020438
Abstract: Plastic particles are widespread in the environment including the terrestrial ecosystems. They may change the physicochemical properties of soil and subsequently affect plant growth. In recent decades, traditional, petroleum-derived plastics have been increasingly replaced by… read more here.
