|---|---|
|
Conventional plastics accumulate in the environment because they are not biodegradable causing an aesthetical nuisance.
|
Produce polymers that biodegrade in environmental compartments: potentially biodegradable plastics.
|
|
Marine fauna may potentially get entangled in plastics and accidentally ingest them, blocking their digestive tract.
|
Produce plastic materials that mechanically degrade in the environment, and thus do not trap or block fauna.
|
|
The degradation of plastics must not release toxic chemicals or persistent micro or nanoplastics.
|
Use functional additives and degradable materials identified as innocuous in a priori Ecological Risk Assessment.
