THE BIODEGRADABLE SOLUTION
EcoPure is an organic additive that drastically accelerates the biodegradation of plastic to less than 10 years.
EcoPure opens-up the molecular structure of plastic and plastic eating enzymes and microbes go to work.
Enzymes and microbes digest the plastic, excreting an organic bi-product that enriches the soil and marine environment. Biodegrading doesn’t start until in a landfill or marine environment.

OXO-Degradable Additives
-
Degrades plastics when exposed to heat and/or light
-
Causes molecules to break apart so weakening the plastic resulting in micro-plastics
-
Amount added varies and may need other additives
-
Often requires costly change to manufacturing and machinery
-
May affect clarity and performance of pack
-
Requires heat, sunlight or enhanced mechanical stress to degrade
-
ISO 9001 and A2LA Certified
Bio-Plastics
(Bio-Based Plastics)
-
Bio-plastics are made from renewable resources like cornstarch and sugarcane however with a worldwide food shortage these ingredients can be used for food instead
-
Creating bio-plastics requires huge amounts of energy that mainly come from fossil fuels leading to an increase in environmental pollution
-
More expensive than traditional Petro-chemical plastics
-
Negative effect on the recycling stream
-
Unstable shelf-life v. traditional plastics
-
ISO 9001 and A2LA Certified
