Les plastiques biodégradables pour lutter contre la pollution c'est évidemment l'idéal. Mais beaucoup d'entre eux disparaissent seulement à la vue sans être totalement digérés par les microbes du sol. Voici la nouvelle génération des plastiques écologiques [...] Le Biopol est obtenu à partir de glucose par fermentation d'une bactérie appelée Alcaligenes Eutrophus et qui stocke le biopolymère comme un humain de la graisse. Ce plastique naturel, le polyhydroxy butyrate (en abrégé PHB) se dégrade à 100% en quelques semaines pour donner de l'eau et du gaz carbonique. 3, record 1, French, - plastique%20biod%C3%A9gradable
