Compostability of Co-Extruded Starch/Poly(Lactic Acid) Polymeric Material Degradation in an Activated Inert Solid Medium

Compostability of Co-Extruded Starch/Poly(Lactic Acid) Polymeric Material Degradation in an Activated Inert Solid Medium

The aim of this work was to estimate the biodegradation of a co-extruded starch/poly(lactic acid) polymeric material using a vermiculite based inert solid medium which could simulate compost medium and enable us to achieve complete carbon balances. At the end of the test the mineralisation rate was...
