Why Polyethylene is Not Biodegradable

The term in-biodegradable is used to describe polymers that do not break at any point to a natural, environmentally friendly conditions over biological processes. 


A majority of plastics are non-biodegradable because plastic is widely used as it is cheap, durable and versatile. 


However, certain conditions fasten the degrading process of polythene. They include: moisture, oxygen, sunlight, composting and biodegradation enhancement through reduction of the hydrophobic polymer, and an increase of hydrophilic properties.


However, it is still an environment-friendly material as it can be easily recycled into new objects like EPE foam insulation. EPE foam recycling is a fairly simple process, which involves heating it until it melts and then reshaping it or remoulding it.
