3. Realize that its definitely more than just air
iCushion™ OXO Biodegradable Air Pillow
The oxo-biodegradable air pillow film contains an additive that initiates chemical breakdown of the polymer chains much more quickly and completely than a standard film when in the presence of oxygen and heat or UV light. Once the polymer has been degraded to a low molecular weight, the molecular components can be consumed by micro-organisms. This act of biodegradation leaves only water, carbon dioxide, biomass and small quantities of minerals that will be assimilated into the ecosystem.
In addition to being reusable, one of the advantages of oxo-biodegradable films is the ease of recycling through mainstream recycling services. Unfortunately, not all products make it to recycling or even waste receptacles resulting in litter. An oxo-biodegradable air pillow that is discarded into the environment is much more likely to undergo the biodegradation process.
