“…Meanwhile, Planstic has more tear resistance and better elongation performance than paper bags. Planstic has a tensile strength of 15 MPa, while traditional retail plastic bags have 25 MPa, 22 biodegradable bags 20 MPa, and paper bags have 14 MPa, which is lower than Planstic, in Figure 2a. The elongation, which is the length after stretching divided by the original length, of Planstic is about 205%.…”

“…The elongation, which is the length after stretching divided by the original length, of Planstic is about 205%. In comparison, the elongation performance of traditional retail plastic bags and biodegradable bags is 200–250% and about 170%, respectively . Paper bags cannot be stretched very long, with only 120% elongation.…”

The content of leaf fibers affects mechanical properties. The increase in leaf fiber loading improves the stiffness of the Planstic, so the elongation of Planstic is lower than that of traditional retail plastic bags.…”

This work introduced a biodegradable plastic material named “Planstic,” which was fabricated by combining fallen plant leaves in nature and plastic waste. Microstructure design and high-precision 3D printing were used to control the morphology perfectly. High-entropy fibers’ direction distribution was used for elasticity improvement. Fibers in Planstic can attract enzymes from nature during its degradation process, thus accelerating the degradation rate of plastic. Planstic can be degraded entirely after 8 weeks in the soil with few microplastic particles remaining. Planstic is an effective solution to plastic pollution in the future.

The effects of ionizing radiation in promoting the abiotic degradation mechanisms in oxo‐degradable plastic bags were studied. Commercial plastic bags, containing pro‐oxidant additives, were irradiated with gamma photons and accelerated electrons at doses of 5 and 10 kGy. Then, the irradiated bags were exposed to abiotic degradation, either thermal aging or accelerated weathering. Mechanical and microstructural characterizations were performed to follow the degradation. Plastic bags containing additives did not show important changes in their structure after ionizing radiation and thermal aging. Meanwhile, accelerated weathering combined with gamma photons irradiation produce fragmentation of all the samples after 120 h of degradation. It was concluded that the combination of ionizing radiation and accelerated weathering allows the breakage of polyethylene chains trough accelerating the activation of pro‐oxidant additive. Additionally, polyethylene molecules are degraded with pre‐treatment of ionizing radiation even if they do not contain the pro‐oxidant additive.
