Biodegradability test on a corn starch based compostable plastic bag: impact of moisture on CO2 emissions, microbial communities, and enzymatic activities

Compostable plastics are often considered as a solution for minimizing plastic contamination due to their biodegradation capacity in composting processes. However, the standards evaluating their biodegradability do not encompass the variability of uncontrolled composting systems,...
