Plastic Decomposition Comparison
On Bioplastic degradation
PLA products require certain conditions for degradation which includes appropriate amount of heat, moisture and air. Generally, conventional landfills do not fulfill these necessary conditions. If PLA products are thrown into the trash, it will be collected and dumped into the landfill and it may take very long time over there to degrade due to lack of appropriate conditions.
