Bioplastics could become truly biodegradable in the sea: the study on hydrolytic enzymes

Compostable plastics struggle to degrade in the sea. A study published in Nature shows that by integrating enzymes into the plastic matrix it is possible to accelerate and improve its degradation in marine environments without generating microplastics. Plastic is now considered an indispensable material. Characteristics such as durability, lightness, resistance …
