HOW DOES IT WORK?
SAFE ENVIROMENT COMPANY - SEC

The degradation process is initiated at the time the polyethylene or polypropylene is extruded by the inclusion of a small amount of d2w additive. The d2w then breaks down the carbon-carbon bonds of the plastic leading to a lowering of the molecular weight and eventually to a loss of strength and properties. d2w additive is made up of stabilisers to ensure that a sufficiently long useful life is provided for each specific application. For example, a refuse sack might require a useful life of say 18 months before beginning to lose its strength whereas a bread bag might only require a few months.
