- How does biodegradation work?
From nature, we can not only learn how macromolecules are formed, but also how the molecule chains of certain polymers are split.
Microorganisms such as bacteria or fungi absorb macromolecules as food and utilize them to fuel their metabolic processes.
The end products of this metabolism are then removed and incorporated into the natural product cycle.
Biodegradation works in the same way, with microbes utilizing the macromolecules in plastic, which in turn causes it to degrade.
Our additive increases this microbial action.
