ABSTRACT:
Thermoplastic polymer product of a thermoplastic material including a thermoplastic polymer and polymeric composting promoting agent selected from the group consisting of nonmetallic metal complexing agents, nonoxidizing-metal metal complexing agents, and mixtures thereof, in a composting effective amount to convert in the presence of oxidizing metal compounds to an active oxidant to thermally degrade the thermoplastic polymer of the thermoplastic material under composting conditions to a low molecular weight material with enhanced biodegradability, the nonmetallic metal complexing agents and the nonoxidizing-metal metal complexing agents being neither photoactivators nor prooxidants.
