Question :
Is it true that the use of oxo-biodegradable plastics leave residual
plastic particles in the soil?
Answer:
Environmentally safe
d2w® oxo-biodegradable additive has been successfully tested in compost by government-accredited laboratories for soil safety and eco-toxicity. These tests demonstrated that the additive did not have any toxic effects and that it is totally
soil safe.
Oxo-biodegradable plastics are ecologically acceptable in soil
* Oxidised polyolefins are no longer plastics as they have been transformed from hydrophobic to hydrophilic materials that support biological growth.
* Biofilm formation on the surface is rapidly followed by bioerosion and loss of mass in the absence of any other source of carbon.
* Oxo-biodegradable plastics contribute to the land carbon sink as soil conditioners and fertilisers
