Effect of colorant, film thickness, and pro-oxidant loading on the impact of degrading oxo-biodegradable low-density polyethylene films to water quality

Polyethylene (PE) is a major component to plastic wastes disposed in bodies of water because of its widespread use. To address its low degradability, PE blended with metal pro-oxidants (oxo-biodegradable PE), which under the presence of UV, heat, and oxygen degrade much faster, has been developed. H...
