Quite simply, oxodegradable means that something needs oxygen to break down. For example, our plastic bags and drop cloths are manufactured to start degrading after 2 years under certain conditions. The reason? They contain a unique additive that, over time, breaks down the carbon-carbon bonds in the plastic and reduces the strength of the bag when it gets exposed to air, sunlight or mechanical stress.
As the plastic degrades into smaller pieces, it becomes a nutrient for microbes that consume the fragments leaving behind water, CO2 and biomass. Best of all, the process leaves no harmful residue or toxins behind.
