What is Degradable Polyethylene: Myths vs. Reality about?

The document discusses degradable polyethylene and whether it can truly be considered biodegradable. It reviews various strategies used to make polyethylene degradable, such as introducing carbonyl groups, unsaturation, or hydrolyzable linkages during polymerization. Another approach involves adding pro-oxidants like transition metals to promote oxidation when exposed to heat/light. However, these polymers may only break into smaller fragments that can remain in the environment for a long time. For polyethy
