Can PVC’s chemical composition be altered to improve biodegradability in nature art?
PVC (polyvinyl chloride) is a widely used synthetic polymer, but its environmental persistence raises concerns. Researchers are exploring ways to modify PVC’s chemical composition to enhance biodegradability, making it more suitable for nature art. By incorporating additives like plasticizers or blending it with biodegradable polymers, PVC can break down more efficiently in natural environments. These innovations could pave the way for eco-friendly art materials, reducing plastic waste while maintaining durability. However, challenges remain in balancing biodegradability with performance. Sustainable art initiatives are increasingly adopting such modified PVC, signaling a promising shift toward greener creative practices.
