Biodegradability is the breakdown of materials by microorganisms and conversion into biomass. Concerns around plastic waste pollution and microplastics are growing the demand for more biodegradable materials. In this article, IDTechEx explores why we need biodegradable plastics, how biodegradability is defined and tested, and the biodegradable plastic material options on the market.

To date, the commercialization of graphene has been more of a "material push" rather than a "market pull"; a solution looking for a problem. In this first phase, there were numerous technical and commercial barriers to overcome, which in materials science does not happen overnight. IDTechEx believes that this is changing, with graphene entering the next stage, the growth phase, of its commercial journey.
