Biodegradable plastics and composites have the potential to replace traditional plastics and their composites in a variety of applications, thereby enabling sustainable material and energy life-cycles. The envisioned material life-cycle that is investigated here, is a microbially produced class of bioplastics, poly(hydoxyalkanoates) (PHAs), which can be anaerobically degraded at the end of their serviceable life into a methane-rich feedstock. By recovering methane produced from controlled anaerobic digestion (AD) of this bioplastic and its composites at end-of-life, these materials can
