Description
The Oxo-Degradable additive
breaks down the long
hydro-carbon bonds of the
plastic reducing the film
strength and eventually
providing a nutrient source
for microbes. These microbes
eat the broken down molecules
reducing what was once plastic
to water carbon dioxide and
reusable biomass. This process
requires oxygen and can occur
at the top layers of a
landfill or in the presence of
sunlight heat or stress.
Depending on conditions, this
process can take between 2
months and 5 years. 100%
degradable. Meets ASTM
D6954-04 for degradable
plastic.
