Plastic is an amazing material that can hold almost one thousand times it’s normal weight. It will get biodegradable over a very long period of time, in some cases 1000 years to break the material down by microorganisms. Degradation of oxo-degradable plastic begins with a chemical process followed by a biological process.

Fogging in plastic films is the formation of small discrete droplets of water on the surface of transparent plastic films.

Sunlight together with heat and oxygen induces reactions of degradation in plastics, causing detrimental effects on their mechanical, optical and physical properties. The result is breakage, chalking and discoloration. Outdoor weathering results in degradation by exposure to the ultraviolet part of sunlight which reaches the earth’s surface, at wavelengths between 300 and 400 nanometres. Environmental factors like temperature, humidity, oxygen, polluting gasses also play an important role.
