Description:
...The objective of this research was to investigate the feasibility of converting starch-based biodegradable plastic such TPS into carboxylate via anaerobic fermentation. This research is our original research. This dataset contains data that collected during TPS mulch film hydrolysis and anaerobic fermentation experiments at Wageningen University & University as part of PhD thesis project named mixed biodegradable plastic fermentation into carboxylates (March 2023).

This information is being made public as supplementary data for the publications and PhD thesis of Weishen Zeng, and other researchers are encouraged to utilize this data in their work.

The data in this dataset was collected in the Environmental Technology laboratory of Wageningen University & Research between March 2023 and December 2024. 

This research project was made possible by a grant from the China Scholarship Council (CSC).
