What does oxo-biodegradable mean?
Oxo-biodegradable simply means that the plastic, at the end of its useful life, biodegrades through oxidation in the presence of oxygen, when exposed to heat or sunlight, hence the name oxo-biodegradable (oxo stemming from oxygen). Oxo-biodegradable plastic is made by blending a pro-degradant additive (such as EPI or D2W) into the plastic during the manufacturing process. The additive causes the molecular structure of plastic to break down when exposed to heat or sunlight with oxygen present.
What is oxidation?
Oxidation is a process in which a chemical substance changes because of the addition of oxygen.
Why is oxo-biodegradable plastic not compostable?
Products may only be classified as compostable if they biodegrade within 180 days (6 months) in a composting system, back into biomass, carbon dioxide and water. Any product which takes longer than 180 days to break down is not allowed to be classified as compostable.

Features
- ✅COMPATIBILITY: Greenland’s Toilet Brush Replacement Heads perfectly replace the OXO 1043632 Good Grips Toilet Brush Replacement Head and are perfectly compatible with the OXO 1281600 Good Grips Toilet Brush. They come in a 4-Pack.
- ✅BIODEGRADABLE: The toilet brush heads are oxo-biodegradable. Oxo-biodegradable simply means that the plastic, at the end of its useful life, biodegrades through the presence of oxygen, when exposed to heat or sunlight, hence the name oxo-biodegradable (oxo stemming from oxygen). (They are not compostable).
- ✅ ASTM D6954-04: The toilet brush heads comply with ASTM D6954-04. The American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) validates oxo-biodegradation and ASTM D6954-04 is the standard test developed for testing whether plastics can degrade in the environment by a combination of oxidation and biodegradation.
- ✅STRONG & DURABLE: Our toilet brush heads have the same strength and durability as regular plastic. They only start to break down when they have been exposed to UV light or heat for prolonged periods of time.
- ✅PLANET-FRIENDLY: Every year a huge number of plastic products are thrown away, taking 500-1000 years to break down. By using Greenland’s toilet brush heads, you are making a far better choice for the environment!
