The researchers studied the decomposition process of two plastic types in extreme conditions.<\/p>\n<p>The study found that biobased plastic was more resilient under conditions simulating 24 months of sun exposure in Central Europe when compared to petroleum derivatives-based plastic. The study also revealed that a new plant-based plastic material emits significantly fewer microplastics than traditional plastic when subjected to sunlight and seawater.<\/p>\n<p>The research paper, published in Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety, also indicated that the size and shape of the microplastics varied depending on the plastic type. Conventional plastics tended to break down into smaller, less fibrous pieces than their plant-based counterparts. According to Plastic Oceans International, the equivalent of a truckload of plastic enters the oceans every minute of the day. This plastic waste breaks down into microplastics, particles smaller than 5mm, which pose a considerable threat to marine ecosystems. The study\u2019s findings are crucial as they suggest that plant-based plastics could be a more environmentally friendly alternative for marine applications.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.packaging-gateway.com\/news\/plastic-research-behaviour-conditions\/\">Packaging Gateway<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/4-504\/\">New insights on behaviour of different plastic types in extreme conditions<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[575,902,694],"class_list":["post-129459","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-microplastics","tag-plastic"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/129459","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=129459"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/129459\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=129459"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=129459"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=129459"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
