Tenebrio molitor larvae (Coleoptera Tenebrionidae) are capable of depolymerizing and biodegrading polystyrene and polyethylene. We tested for biodegradation of Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) in T. molitor larvae using rigid PVC microplastic powders (MPs) (70-150 μm) with weight-, number-, and size-average molecular weights (Mw, Mn and Mz) of 143,800, 82,200 and 244,900 Da, respectively, as sole diet at 25 °C. The ingestion rate was 36.62 ± 6.79 mg MPs 100 larvae-1 d-1 during a 16-day period. The egested frass contained about 34.6% of residual
