What is biodegradation?
Biodegradation is the process by which organic substances are broken down by living organisms (96% of Bacteria are aerobic – active in the presence of oxygen). There is therefore complete compatibility between the Bacterial floral and Oxobiodegradable degradation pathways. The term is often used in relation to ecology, waste management, environmental remediation (bioremediation) and to plastic materials, due to their long life span. The use of oxo-biodegradable additives significantly accelerates this streak down/disintegration process in conventional packaging plastics.
