Abstract
This study presents a comprehensive comparative analysis of the aerobic biodegradation processes of biopolymers and their corresponding bioplastics. Biopolymers, derived from renewable biological sources, have gained traction as sustainable alternatives to conventional plastics. However, the degradation rates and mechanisms of biopolymers and bioplastics can differ significantly. Through a series of laboratory experiments simulating aerobic conditions, we evaluated the degradation rates, microbial activity, and byproducts formed during the degradation of several biopolymers and bioplastics. The findings highlight the crucial role of chemical structure and microbial communities in determining degradation efficiency. This study underscores the importance of selecting suitable materials for applications where biodegradability is paramount and offers insights into enhancing the biodegradation of bioplastics.
