Abstract

There are disclosed novel degradable plastic compositions consisting essentially of an organic polymer containing at least one organic chelating agent. The agent is one which chelates metal so as to form a metal complex which acts to accelerate polymer degradation in the presence of oxygen, electromagnetic radiation, and/or elevated temperature. This invention is especially useful in the preparation of degradable packaging materials such as films, bags, containers, etc.
