Question

what are the conditions of the biodegradable plastic to decompose






.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

Under aerobic (with oxygen) conditions, microbes consume oxygen to decompose biodegradable polymers primarily into carbon dioxide and water. Under anaerobic conditions (that is without oxygen) anaerobic microbes decompose biodegradable polymers primarily into methane and carbon dioxide.

Answer 2

Answer:

Biodegradable plastics are plastics that can be decomposed by the action of living organisms, usually microbes, into water, carbon dioxide, and biomass. Biodegradable plastics are commonly produced with renewable raw materials, micro-organisms, petrochemicals, or combinations of all three.

Biodegradable plastics do not decompose if they are not properly disposed of. They need the correct conditions of moisture, temperature, and humidity that are similar to a composting environment.
