Biodegradation of thermally-oxidized, fragmented low-density polyethylenes

TL;DR: In this article, low-density polyethylene (LDPE) samples containing TDPA pro-oxidant additives from EPI Inc. were submitted to an investigation aimed at evaluating their ultimate biodegradation (e.g., mineralization) in soil and mature compost incubation media.
Journal ArticleDOI

An approach to low-density polyethylene biodegradation by Bacillus amyloliquefaciens.

TL;DR: Bacterial isolates showed the depolymerization of biodegraded products in the extracellular media indicating the biodegradation process, which proves the potentiality of these strains to degrade LDPE films in a short span of time.
