In the last 20 years, a new generation of materials was developed: the biodegradable plastics. They reduce the accumulation of plastic in the environment and the cost of waste management because they can be fed in composting plants or, if used in agriculture (mulch films), they are applied to the soil and left there. Ten monomers were chosen among the most used in the synthesis of biodegradable polymers (1,2-ethanediol, 1,4-butanediol, 1,6-hexanediol, adipic acid, azelaic acid, sebacic acid, terephthalic acid, glucose, lactic acid, and succinic acid) and tested according to ASTM 598896 (a standard test method for determining aerobic biodegradation in soil of plastic materials measuring the carbon dioxide evolution). Two sandy loam soils, collected in two different sites in Italy, were used to evaluate the mineralization rate of the monomers. Four tests (two replicates each) were carried out for 2739 days. Experimental data show no relevant differences in the respirations of the two soils and in the carbon dioxide productions of the tested monomers. The final mineralization percent was 42-45% for glucose, succinic, and lactic acid and 50-56% for the other monomers.
