The Technical Regulation

For OXO-Biodegradable Products

This regulation pertains to all polypropylene and polyethylene plastic products that are typically used for short periods and then disposed of, within the thickness limits specified by the approved standard specifications (≤ 250 microns). This regulation mandates that these products must be capable of being degraded through oxidative degradation (OXO) and then biodegraded.
