- Mere info: OXIUM® is an additive that facilitates oxo-degradation in plastic, such as polyethylene and polystyrene, to achieve degradation through oxidation (exposure to oxygen and heat). For example, a standard plastic shopping bag with OXIUM® can break down and become bio-available for microbes to eat in two years, formulated according to its life-cycle for usefulness. (see www.oxium.net) ECOPLAS® is a bio-degradable polymer made from tapioca. Made into a standard plastic shopping bag, such a bag may degrade in weeks when buried amongst active microbes or insects, depending on microbial activity level.
