How it Works

• A small amount of bio-additive is compounded with the standard HC film.
• The bio-additive attaches itself to the molecular polymer chains that form the plastic so that it is evenly dispersed throughout the plastic.
• After plastic is disposed of in a landfill, microbes attach to the additives in the plastic, digesting and breaking down the structure into biomass and carbon dioxide or methane.
• Depending on microbial environment, complete biodegradation can occur in one to five years.
• Compliant with ISO 15985:2004, and ASTM D5511-02: Anaerobic biodegradation of plastic materials under high-solids anaerobic digestion conditions. These tests simulate landfill environments.
