Abstract

The paper considers problems concerning accumulation of synthetic plastic wastes in the biosphere. A set of data is presented on materials of new generation – polymers of natural origin (bioplastics) which can degrade in the environment to harmless products. Biotechnologically synthesized biodegradable microbial polyhydroxyalkanoates and mechanisms of their degradability are characterized
