- Abstract
The use of plastic bags is common in daily life, but their accumulation in the environment is a serious problem caused by modern society. Thus, it is essential to study the degradation of these to understand the processes that can occur when improperly discarded by society. Thus, conventional and oxybiodegradable plastic bags were subjected to exposure to the elements (rain, humidity, air temperature changes, sunlight) under the sand, to assess the natural degradation of the samples according to their respective mass loss. It was noted that the conventional and oxybiodegradable bags showed weight loss, but both showed similar behavior against the weather. The oxybiodegradable bags showed no overall degradation during the study period (12 months).
