DOI: 10.1016/j.cub.2020.02.009
Abstract: Summary There is an increase in materials being labelled ‘biodegradable’, but the label doesn’t guarantee they will disappear if left in the environment. Stringent testing of complete degradability in new materials and recently discovered microbial… read more here.
