Anaerobic degradation of bioplastics: A review
Abstract
Anaerobic digestion (AD) of the organic fraction of municipal solid waste (OFMSW), leading to renewable energy production in the form of methane, is a preferable method for dealing with the increasing amount of waste. Food waste is separated at the source in many countries for anaerobic digestion. However, the presence of plastic bags is a major challenge for such processes. This study investigated the anaerobic degradability of different bioplastics, aiming at potential use as collecting bags for the OFMSW. The chemical composition of the bioplastics and the microbial community structure in the AD process affected the biodegradation of the bioplastics. Some biopolymers can be degraded at hydraulic retention times usually applied at the biogas plants, such as poly(hydroxyalkanoate)s, starch, cellulose and pectin, so no possible contamination would occur. In the future, updated standardization of collecting bags for the OFMSW will be required to meet the requirements of effective operation of a biogas plant.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
