Abstract
Due to the environmental crisis caused by the accumulation of plastics and disposable containers in nature, along with the significant challenges associated with their waste management, finding effective solutions to reduce plastic-related pollution was considered essential. One potential approach to address this issue is the use of indigenous microorganisms capable of plastic biodegradation, as well as the replacement of conventional plastics with biodegradable bioplastics that, owing to their degradable structures, reduced the environmental pollution load. In this study, the biodegradability of bio-based disposable containers was investigated through the isolation and purification of...
