Shinshu U team finds LAHB biodegrades in the ocean faster than PLA
In Japan, researchers at Shinshu University have found that bioplastic poly(d-lactate-co-3-hydroxybutyrate) lost over 80% of its mass in just 13 months when submerged deep in the ocean. The real-world test establishes LAHB as a more biodegradable plastic than leading bioplastic polylactic acid. According to the OECD’s Global Plastics Outlook, about 353 million metric tons of […]
