these do not biodegrade quickly. The new discovery would not only cut down on the use of oil,
It will not biodegrade, but it takes less energy to make, and while the soy is growing it is taking in CO2
We are focused currently on applications where biodegradability is key says Molly Morse CEO at Mango Materials.
Generally speaking biodegradability is supposed to be the top priority when deploying pesticides says Prof. Dr. Matthias Kästner Director of the Department Environmental biotechnology at the Helmholtz-Centre for Environmental Research--UFZ in Leipzig.
You can imagine that a rotten apple might biodegrade faster than a newspaper. We have a race between how fast the methane is being produced
If something biodegrades rapidly, much of the methane can be produced before the gas collection system is in place.
On the other hand, if something biodegrades slowly then you have an opportunity to capture most of that methane
it doesn't all biodegrade. Some of that carbon is stored in the landfill. That also is a positive for the environment
but they can still biodegrade over time. Bagasse-based containers include a biopolymer coating so that they won't leak.
which we want in some cases (we want the water bottle to biodegrade), but what about buildings?
We dont want those to biodegrade. We need to think about the time scale to design: So is this a 100-year building or 25-year building?
That means it will biodegrade at an expected and acceptable rate when it it is added to a hot, active compost pile.
which locks out oxygen required for the food to biodegrade properly. Food waste s high water content makes it tough to burn
