The present study aims at comparing the biodegradation mechanisms of two promising biodegradable plastics, PHBV Poly(3hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) and PBSA Poly(butylene succinate-co-adipate) with the objective to provide a better understanding of the mechanisms involved and identify the most relevant indicators to follow biodegradation. For this purpose, the progress of the biodegradation process was monitored under controlled composting conditions at the laboratory scale at 58°C using several methodological approaches for evaluating polymer degradation.
