How does PHBV contribute to environmentally sustainable practices?
Options
- APHBV is a non-biodegradable polymer.
- BPHBV is a synthetic polymer that cannot be recycled.
- CPHBV is biodegradable and undergoes bacterial degradation in the environment, reducing environmental impact.
- DPHBV contributes to air pollution.
Correct answer
C. PHBV is biodegradable and undergoes bacterial degradation in the environment, reducing environmental impact.
Step-by-step solution
PHBV's ability to biodegrade in the environment contributes to environmentally sustainable practices by reducing the accumulation of non-biodegradable polymers in landfills and ecosystems.
