Biodegradación de espumas plásticas por larvas de insectos: ¿una estrategia sustentable?

Abstract: En la actualidad, la mayoría de las actividades humanas dependen en gran medida del uso de los plásticos, cuya producción y consumo han aumentado considerablemente en las últimas décadas. La utilización de productos plásticos ha tenido impactos positivos para nuestro bienestar; sin embargo, los efectos negativos derivados de su disposición inapropiada son motivo de gran preocupación, especialmente durante la actual emergencia sanitaria provocada por la COVID-19, en la que el uso de plásticos por una ocasión ha… Show more

“…Likewise, close to 4,000 species of dung beetles contribute to the disintegration of manure from different vertebrates, avoiding the loss of approximately 80% of atmospheric nitrogen which contributes to global warming and controlling the emission of bad odors (Chowdhury et al, 2017). On the other hand, because of the COVID-19 sanitary crisis, a massive amount of waste has been generated (products based on polyethylene and polystyrene) that are economically unviable for their recycling, the same as various plastic wastes that affect the environment; a strategy of sustainable innovation that attempts to reduce this impact includes actions where insects (particularly moths and beetles) contribute to the degradation of such material based on the microbiological action of their digestive tract, mitigating the ecological impact on the planet (Rodríguez-Carreón et al, 2021).…”
