Sažetak
Nowadays, the term biodegradation is becoming important, as it converts materials into water and minerals, carbon dioxide and new biomass, which presence does not harm the environment. By burying textiles in the soil, microorganisms play a major role in the biodegradation process. The biodegradation analysis is often taken as a standard measurement for environmentally friendly textile materials. It is important to investigate in detail the biodegradation behaviour of natural fibres under controlled conditions, which enables the selection of suitable fibres for the production of biodegradable agrotextile nonwoven materials with targeted properties for a specific purpose. Therefore, the aim of this paper is to investigate the biodegradation properties of Jute and PLA fibres by soil burial test. The fibres were exposed to the farmland soil for 11 days. The efficiency of the biodegradability was determined by comparison of mass loss, mechanical properties (finesses and tenacity) and morphological analysis by SEM microscope. With the purpose of a better understanding of biodegradation, the number of total fungi and bacteria in the soil is also determined.
