Oxo-biodegradable plastics are widely used as an alternative to well-known polyethylene and polypropylene. thanks to the polyolefin base, they have the necessary set of operating characteristics and are able to be processed with the same parameters as for example polyethylene. The presence of prooxidant in their composition ensures its oxo-destruction after the end of the product’s service life with the subsequent biodegradation of the obtained material fragments. The combination of a natural filler and a pro-oxidant additive in polymer compositions makes it possible to obtain a material with a programmed life and destruction
