Oxo -Biodegradability* is a three-fold process: 1. Photo-oxidation: The line is fragmented by UV light from the sun over a period of 3 years. 2. Thermo-oxidation: Heat continues the fragmentation on the soil. 3. Bio-assimilation: Finally, micro-organisms in the earth consume the remaining elements. The whole process takes between 5 and 10 years (depending on climatic conditions), after which no trace of the line remains. The line will oxo- biodegrade only when in contact with the soil. It remains completely intact and in perfect condition when stored.
