How does PHBV contribute to environmentally sustainable practices?

Options

  1. APHBV is a non-biodegradable polymer.
  2. BPHBV is a synthetic polymer that cannot be recycled.
  3. CPHBV is biodegradable and undergoes bacterial degradation in the environment, reducing environmental impact.
  4. 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.
