Biodegradation of poly (butylene adipate-co-terephthalate)/poly (lactic acid) under food waste composting: CO
Article in Biodegradation, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Substituting conventional plastics with biodegradable plastics represents a promising mitigation strategy for plastic pollution. However, the non-degraded bioplastics can partially result in a heterogeneous, diffusion-limited, and metabolically suppressed state in the compost, thus leading to the composting unstability. This study employed three levels of additions (2, 8 and 16%) of poly (butylene adipate-co-terephthalate)/poly (lactic acid) (PBAT/PLA) bioplastics to canteen food waste to investigate the impact of biodegradable plastics addition on bioplastic degradation efficiency and compost quality. Results showed that 2, 8, and 16% of PBAT/PLA addition had the biodegradation rates of 59.49, 20.99, and 16.72%, respectively. Water-soluble substances and humic acid (5.32 g/kg and 0.94 g/kg) are generated from the treatment of 2% addition, however, 16% of PBAT/PLA addition significantly reduced the formation of water-soluble substances and humic acid with 4.89 g/kg and 0.73 g/kg. Finally, the potential application scenarios for this co-compost are discussed. It is suggested to be used as a soil conditioner in urban greening and public spaces, thereby reducing municipal maintenance and fertilizer procurement costs. This work provides operational thresholds for efficient biodegradable plastic waste treatment via co-composting and advances sustainable development paradigms within the plastics industry, aligning with circular economy principles.
