| description abstract | Polymeric films and fibers are used extensively in industrial and personal products. Many of these products are intended to be disposable and, after initial use, are disposed in landfills that are increasingly expensive and limited. Proprietary additives are being promoted to enhance the biodegradation of polypropylene (PP) and related materials. A test was run on samples of diapers containing PP in simulated landfills and in convection ovens over a period of 52 weeks. Samples in the oven treatment lost all strength properties in less than 27 weeks. Back sheet and cuff samples in the landfill lost insignificant ( | |
