How does
it works
?
Significantly,
the Oxo-biodegradable
Plastics
range
does not
need a
biologically
active
environment
to start
degrading
- this
will
happen
even if
the
plastic
is left
in the
open
air!
This is
very
important
if we
are to
address
the
serious
litter
problems
caused
by waste
plastic.
For this
reason
in
particular,
OBI
'totally
degradable'
plastic
is
superior
to
'bio-degradable'
which
requires
the
plastic
to be in
a
biologically
active
environment
(for
example,
by being
buried
in the
ground)
before
the
degradation
process
is
initiated.
