Abstract
An environmentally degradable polymer composition comprising an ethylene polymer base resin, and a synergistic combination of an auto-oxidative polymer or low molecular weight organic compound; certain polyvalent transition metal salt; and an antioxidant additive for the ethylene polymer. A product of this composition when discarded to the environment is caused to deteriorate by the action of the elements, thereby hastening the deterioration of litter.
