RAPRA has published a 50-page business review of biodegradable plastics. It defines the different types now available, describes their degradation mechanisms, and examines their current and future applications. A summary of commercially available degradable plastics is provided, and the market for these materials is discussed. The final chapter looks at some of the constraints on the use of such materials, such as the economics involved, legislation, and their compatibility with current waste management systems.
