- 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.
