Research Progress on the Degradation Behavior and Mechanism of Biodegradable Plastics
With China becoming the world's largest producer and consumer of plastic,the issue of the impact of plastic waste on the environment is becoming increasingly prominent.Due to the chemical stability of traditional plastics in the natural environment,their waste poses a great bur-den on the environment.Therefore,the development and utilization of biodegradable plastics has become an effective way to solve plastic environ-mental pollution and a current research hotspot.This article mainly reviews the current research progress of biodegradable plastics from the clas-sification and characteristics,degradation influencing factors,and degradation mechanisms,providing technical references for reducing plastic en-vironmental pollution and sustainable development.
