However, PLA doesn’t appear to degrade under any measurable criteria in 365 days<br>in a simulated marine environment complete with sand, microbiota and 30°C temperature.<br>For example, a Cal Recycle publication noted one studyh in which plastic poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co- 3-hydroxyvalerate (PHBV) and PLA
