French Scientists Develop Enzyme for Biodegradable PLA Plastic in Home-Compost
Jul 20, 2024, 08:30 PM
French scientists have developed an engineered enzyme that can be embedded into PLA plastic, enabling it to fully biodegrade under home-compost conditions at approximately 28°C within 20-24 weeks. This self-degrading enzyme allows the plastic to completely disintegrate, providing a sustainable solution to address the growing concern over plastic waste by enabling plastics to decompose naturally in home composts.
