The aim of this paper is to introduce and study the class of boundedly non-additive processes. The main result is the decomposition in theorem (2.1) and theorem (3.1), which says that a boundedly non-additive process is the sum of a non-positive subadditive, a non-negative superadditive and an additive process. By this decomposition we can extend the mean and local ergodic theorems for superadditive processes of M. A. Akcoglu and U. Krengel to boundedly non-additive processes. At the end of this paper some examples are given.
