Oxo Biodegradable OBD plastic is polyolefin plastic to which has been added very small catalytic amounts of metal salts. These catalyze the natural degradation process to speed it up so that the OBD plastic will degrade when subject to environmental conditions to produce water, carbon dioxide and biomass . The process is shortened from hundreds of years to years and or months for degradation and thereafter biodegradation depends on the micro organisms in the environment. Degradation process Chemical decomposition Degradation is a process that takes place in all materials. The speed depends on the environment. Conventional polyethylene PE and polypropylene PP plastics will typically take hundreds of years to degrade. But oxo biodegradable products utilize a prodegradant to speed up the molecular breakdown of the polyolefins and incorporate oxygen atoms into the resulting low molecular mass. This chemical change enables naturally occurring microorganisms to consume the low molecular mass products as a food source, hence biodegradation.

Human waste is a biowaste and can be a serious health hazard, as it is a good Vector epidemiology vector for both Virus disease viral and Pathogenic bacteria bacterial diseases. A major accomplishment of human civilization has been the reduction of disease transmission via human waste through the practice of hygiene and sanitation , including the development of sewage systems and plumbing . Human waste can be reduced or reused through use of waterless urinal restroom urinal s and composting toilet s and greywater . The most common method of waste treatment in rural areas where municipal sewage systems are unavailable is the use of septic tank systems. In remote rural places without sewage or septic systems, small populations allow for the continued use of honey bucket s and sewage lagoons see anaerobic lagoon without the threat of disease presented by places with denser populations. Honey buckets are used by rural villages in Alaska where, due to permafrost , conventional waste treatment systems cannot be utilised.
