Surprised to not find a mention of the second law of thermodynamics in the article.

  Seems like it was intended to be a simple and practical list of things that can be avoided or improved to reduce the process, rather than explaining the physics behind it. But now that you mention it, this would be a nice opportunity for you to explain how thermodynamics applies to degradation of these kinds of materials mentioned.

  I'm not sure the second law really applies, these aren't closed systems (the Sun shining on them being the most obvious input).

    Yes, that's true. Thanks for correcting me.
