When does biodegradation makes ecological sense? Are there already suitable materials for such applications? These and further questions are going to be answered within the project “BioSinn – products for which biodegradation makes sense”.
Together with the nova-Institute, the University of Stuttgart and others, GO!PHA is investigating which plastic products, even when used correctly, often end-up in the environment and nature and therefore cannot be collected for recycling or re-use. For such applications, biodegradation can be a viable end-of-life option.
From an initial long list of 80+ products 25 products will be selected. For each product it will be explained to what extent biodegradation is a feasible option and what substitutions are already available on the market.
