oxo-biodegradable plastic technology causes ordinary plastic to convert at the end of its useful life to a completely molecular structure, which can be bio-assimilated in the same way as leaf.

The plastic does not just fragment, but is consumed by micro-organisms after the additive has reduced the molecular weight to sub 40,000 Daltons, and it is therefore "biodegradable." This process continues until the material has biodegraded to nothing more than CO2, water, humus, and trace elements.
