BIODEGRADABLE PLASTICS

EcoPoly Solutions proprietary additive line, OxoElite is a masterbatch which turns ordinary plastic at the end of its useful life, in the presence of oxygen, into a material with a different molecular structure. At the end of that process, it is no longer plastic and has become a material which will biodegrade in the open environment in the same way as a leaf.

One of our goals is to continuously strive towards making superior products and always moving forward with our research to discover the next generations of oxo-biodegradable additives.

Stage 1.

OxoElite masterbatch is added at the manufacturing stage.

Stage 2.

Film containing OxoElite is extruded at the factory and is made into film, bags or packaging.

Stage 3.

The product behaves like a conventional product during its intended service life.

Stage 4.

After its service life, the film, bag or packaging may end up in the open environment.

Stage 5

The OxoElite then takes effect and the product begins to degrade in the presence of oxygen.

Stage 6

The product eventually biodegrades to nothing more than carbon dioxide, water and biomass
