Disclosed are stabilized aliphatic polyester compositions comprising an aliphatic polyester, a HALS, and a tris-aryl-S-triazine UV absorber that show low embrittlement, haze formation, and discoloration during weathering. Also disclosed are aliphatic polyester compositions comprising aliphatic polyester, a hindered amine light stabilizer, a triazine UV absorber, and a phosphite that exhibit low color prior to weathering but retain good clarity, color, and excellent impact strength after exposure to weathering conditions. The aliphatic polyester compositions may be used prepare shaped articles such as, for example, films, sheets, bottles, tubes, profiles, fibers, and molded articles.
