In this paper, clasification of commercial polymer depending on their ability to biodegradation and factors which influence biodegradation processes are described. The examples of modification of polyethylene with natural and synthetic polymers are presented. On the basis of polyethylene films modified with starch and synthetic polyester, the methods of biodegradation processes are shown.
