A scoping and critical review of properties, standards, and regulations of oxo-biodegradable plastics by Juan Carlos Salcedo Reyes, Octavio Alejandro Castañeda Uribe, Luis David Gómez Méndez, Aura Marina Pedroza Rodríguez, Raúl A. Poutou-Piñales

“…Based on recent scientific-technical developments referring to the transformation and biodegradation mechanisms of plastic compounds, progress has been made both in the conceptualization of relevant definitions and in the development of technical standards that allow determining, in a more precise and reproducible way, the ratio of biodegradability of a determined material. From these advances, they have developed, furthermore, the so-called oxo-biodegradable plastics, in which pro-oxidant additives are added to the raw polymer in such a way that allow a optimal abiotic transformation process (photo/thermo oxidation), producing the fragmentation of the material under suitable conditions for its simultaneous or successive biotic degradation (enzymatic oxidation). …”
