A study has been carried out at Michigan State University that displays the additive touted for promotion of biodegradation of PET and polyofins. Posted by the American Chemical Society, the study has been titled as ‘Evaluation of Biodegradation-Promoting Additives for Plastics’. The study is being recognized as an attempt for putting some uncertain things by investigation of influence of biodegradation promoting additives for plastic products. Under the study, effects of three various kinds of biodegradation promoting additives has been investigated under aerobic degradation, active anaerobic digestion and soil burial environment. All the three additives have been chosen on the basis of their oxo additive, non-oxo additive and a combination of both of these properties.

As per the authors, the basic research has been carried out for evaluation of all three types of environments for PE and both the additives in all the above mentioned environments. The research has been carried out with the objective of detailed understanding of effects of disposal of these polymers in the environment. The conclusion is that anaerobic and aerobic biodegradation cannot be considered as feasible disposal routes for non-compostable plastics bearing any of the tested biodegradation promoting additives.
