Soil Fungus and Calcium Accelerate Biodegradable Plastic Breakdown, Study Finds
A common soil fungus when paired with calcium can degrade over half of biodegradable plastic film within two weeks, according to new research. The study reveals how environmental adjustments enhance natural decomposition processes. This breakthrough could revolutionize agricultural and packaging waste management.
Breakthrough in Plastic Degradation
Researchers have discovered that a common soil fungus, when combined with calcium, can significantly accelerate the breakdown of biodegradable plastics, according to a study published in the Journal of Hazardous Materials. The findings suggest a promising, eco-friendly approach to managing plastic waste in agricultural and packaging sectors.
