Machine learning to predict how fast biodegradable plastics break down in nature
Testing how quickly a biodegradable plastic actually breaks down in the environment can take months, sometimes years, of lab work.

Testing how quickly a biodegradable plastic actually breaks down in the environment can take months, sometimes years, of lab work. A new study from the Agricultural University of Athens, offers a faster alternative: a machine-learning tool that predicts biodegradation outcomes for a widely used bioplastic almost instantly.
