Myers Premium Biodegradable can liners, are designed with the typical conditions of a landfill in mind, using an additive to help activate microorganisms living in landfills to break down the plastic in trash can liners. No changes to process settings required. Plastic maintains traditional performance ratings. Degradation begins at time of disposal. No heavy metals. 49.28% biodegradation in 900 days under non typical conditions. No evidence of further biodegradation. This technology is an additive that renders the plastic bag biodegradable while maintaining other desired film properties. When disposed, this product is able to be metabolized in to biomass by the surrounding microorganisms commonly found within our environment. This biodegradable process can take place aerobically and anaerobically and can occur without the presence of light. These factors allow for biodegradation even in landfill conditions.
