Short Info
Additifs oxo-biodégradables
Product Description
Oxo-biodegradable additives from Europe, innovative products that accelerate plastic degradation through controlled oxidation followed by biodegradation. These additives are incorporated into conventional polyethylene and polypropylene products during processing, imparting programmed oxidative degradation that initiates after a predetermined useful service life and exposure to environmental conditions. West African manufacturers facing increasing pressure to address plastic waste concerns find oxo-biodegradable technology offers a practical solution compatible with existing processing equipment and recycling systems. The additives enable production of carrier bags, agricultural films, and packaging materials that provide normal service performance during intended use, then fragment and biodegrade when discarded to the environment. While not a complete solution to plastic pollution, oxo-biodegradable additives represent one tool in the toolkit for managing plastic waste impacts, particularly relevant in regions where waste collection infrastructure remains limited.
