Bio-active degradable films are based on additive systems, where mechanical and optical properties are unaffected.
The mechanism of degradation is not initiated by heat, light or stress as with controlled systems; rather, the degradation is commenced when the product is placed in sustained contact with the degrading agent - the micro-organisms (i.e. when it is buried or in prolonged contact with soil).
This is intended for landfill applications, and the service life can be as long as required.
Certain cellulosic additive systems are suitable for composting.
