Oxo-biodegradable plastic technology provides the safest, most cost-effective method of degrading plastic, with control over the degradation time

Oxo-biodegradable plastics are currently made from naptha, which is a by-product of oil refining, and oil is of course a finite resource. However, this by-product arises because the world needs fuels and oils for engines, and would arise whether or not the by-product were used to make plastic goods.

This degrades by a process of oxo-biodegradation, initiated by an additive which reduces the molecular weight of the material over a pre-determined period.

The plastic does not just fragment, but is consumed by micro-organisms after the additive has reduced the molecular weight to sub 40,000 Daltons, and it is therefore “biodegradable.” This process continues until the material has biodegraded to nothing more than CO2, water, humus, and trace elements. Oxo-biodegradable plastics are made from a by-product of oil refining which would otherwise be wasted. Oil is a finite resource, but the by-product is available because the world will need fuel for engines for the foreseeable future.
