逻辑题中涉及倒装句no less than的理解，在这里问一下

原句OG11 53题如下，One variety of partially biodegradable plastic beverage container is manufactured from small bits of plastic bound together by a degradable bonding agent such as cornstarch. Since only the bonding agent degrades, leaving the small bits of plastic, no less plastic refuse per container is produced when such containers are discarded than when comparable nonbiodegradable containers are discarded.

请问红色部分的正常语序是什么，no less than不是一个词组吗，倒装的时候可以把no less    和  than   分开来吗？？？

xiaowan谢谢，句子我知道了，可是倒装的时候可以把no less    和  than   分开来吗？？？

这是什么语言现象呢
