Well, biodegradable means that it is capable of decaying through the action of living organisms such as being decomposed by bacteria or other biological means.

And the prefix oxo- indicates that a chemical compound contains oxygen linked to another atom by a double bond, used to denote that a compound is derived from a specified compound by replacement of a methylene group with a carbonyl group.

Hope that helps! (:

Oxo-biodegradable refers to plastic that contains additives to help it break down into smaller pieces when exposed to oxygen, sunlight, and heat. These smaller pieces can then be consumed by microorganisms in the environment, leading to biodegradation.
