The present invention relates to compostable and biodegradable thermoplastic compositions comprising a thermoplastic polymer, a hydrolytically unstable antioxidant, a pro-oxidant, an accelerator, and a property modifier. The hydrolytically unstable antioxidants effectively prevent the thermoplastic polymer from breakdown by oxidative or thermal degradation under dry conditions. Under wet conditions, the hydrolytically unstable antioxidant becomes ineffective and the thermoplastic polymers breakdown to low molecular weight materials.

Compostable thermoplastic compositions

A deep embossed thermoplastic film is disclosed. The film includes a plurality of macro cells. The macro cells are interconnected by lands extending between adjacent macro cells. The film also includes at least one plurality of micro depressions, whereby a pleasing appearance and a proper feel are imparted.
