Biodegradable polymers for food packaging - factors influencing their degradation and certification types - a comprehensive review
PublicationIn the paper an overview of novel biodegradable polymers for food packaging can be found. The aim was to present factors influencing polymer degradation and biodegradation in various environments. It was noted that biodegradable polymers are imperfect alternative for classical polymers and its decomposition strongly depends on degradation environment.

Biodegradable polymer packaging materials - influence on environment
PublicationAwareness of the waste problem and its impact on the environment has awakened new interest in the area of biodegradable polymers. Biodegradation of various polymers have been studied under diverse environments like in soil, in sewage sludge, in compost conditions and in sea water by different research groups. The aim of this paper is to present the research methods on the biodegradation of the commercially available biodegradable...
