Autumn leaves transformed into biodegradable mulch film can curb farm plastic pollution
Fallen leaves, which are discarded every year, have been transformed into a resource that can replace waste plastics, a major nuisance in rural areas. A research team at the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) has developed biodegradable agricultural vinyl made from fallen leaves, presenting a new way to solve the problem of conventional plastic vinyl, which is a cause of soil pollution. The study is published in the journal Green Chemistry.
