Spain

As part of the H2020 LABPLAS Project, coordinated by Universidade de Vigo, the degradability of biopolymers under immersion in coastal zones presenting actual environmental parameters is being tested. Standardised samples (composition, size, mass and shape) of each polymer have been submerged (~2 meters deep) in coastal areas in Spain (Vigo) for 180 days. A data logger is monitoring in real-time relevant environmental parameters (temperature, light, pH).
