By applying weight of evidence approach to the target chemical tin(II) oxalate it was found that the degradation percentage of tin(II) oxalate in water medium is 50 to 90.26 %.This result in ready biodegradability of the chemical. 

Biodegradation in water and sediment

Based on the Level III Fugacity Model,the half life period of the tin(II) oxalate was estimated. The half life period of tin (II) oxalate in water is 900hrs (37.5 d) therefore it is considered that the substance will qualify as not persistent as the half life does not exceed the threshold of 60 days. So, it can be confirmed that the substance is readily biodegradable in water medium where as in sediment the half life is 8100 hrs (337.5 d).

Based on this value, it can be inferred that the substance is persistent in sediment medium and is not readily biodegradable probably due to the anaerobic conditions existing in most sediments. However, it can be observed that tin(II) oxalate does not diffuse in the sediment medium since it's percentage diffusion in the sediment medium is reported to be 0.0872 % and hence persistence in the sediment compartment is not likely to be critical.

Biodegradation in soil

The EPI Suite has estimated that tin(II) oxalate is expected to be found predominantly in soil and its persistence estimate is based on its transformation in this medium. Its half-life in soil, 75 days (1800 hrs). This dose not exceeds the threshold of 120 days as per Annex XIII of REACH. Therefore, tin(II) oxalate is estimated to be not persistent in the soil environment.
