EcoPureT - The Biodegradable Plastic Solution

EcoPureT - The Biodegradable Plastic Solution

It is estimated that more than 100 billion plastic bottles now find their way into landfills each year. When a traditional plastic bottle enters a landfill it can take thousands of years to break down, if ever. As plastic has proliferated over the past century, we have seen a profoundly negative impact on the environment.

Scientists are now concerned that the rate of decay in landfills could be even slower than previously thought. Some landfills are so tightly packed, the conditions are simply not optimal for facilitating product breakdown.

In order for plastics to biodegrade entirely, tiny microscopic organisms must find the material attractive for consumption. Traditional plastics are unattractive to microbes and therefore are never broken down.

Many products on the market claim to be biodegradable, but are in fact only compostable and do not break down in a landfill environment. In other cases, the product simply breaks down into smaller pieces (plastic flakes).

By bringing EcoPureT to the PET bottle industry, we're able to offer a truly biodegradable PET product that features ALL of the benefits of traditional PET and breaks down in 1 to 5 years in anaerobic, aerobic and compost environments. Our products are covered in the MSDS and made only from FDA approved materials which are deemed food grade.

EcoPureT is a second generation additive, which once added to a resin type during the manufacturing process, renders plastics biodegradable. Various American Standard of Testing and Measurement (ASTM) testing methods, including the ASTM D5511, which confirms that products will biodegrade when placed into an anaerobic environment, such as a landfill, have proven that EcoPureT is biodegradable.

The ASTM D5511 has shown that EcoPureT allows microbes to break down the structure of Polypropylene and Polyethylene at significant levels up to 45% in 14 days. The biodegradation process starts when the plastic is placed into the landfill and the microbes, which are attracted to the plastic, colonize on the surface and begin to digest and break down the plastic. The fact that EcoPureT works via microbes makes this product stand out from the other biodegradable and degradable products, which are broken down by heat, moisture, UV, or mechanical stress. Once it has been placed into a landfill, EcoPureT begins biodegrading and takes from approximately 1-5 years.

Tests have shown that as little as 0.7% by load weight of EcoPureT is needed to make a product biodegradable. This ensures that helping our environment is practical and affordable.

EcoPureT works with every resin type tested thus far, and does not affect the physical properties of the products. Various trial runs have shown that EcoPureT can withstand temperatures up to 550+ degrees F, which means that products such as ABS, SAN, Nylon, and Rubber can be made biodegradable with EcoPureT.
