Plastic Manufacturing Service
EcoPure® by Bio-Tec Environmental offers our partners an easily implemented way to transform their plastic product manufacturing into biodegradable* plastic production and packaging. Bringing these products into the marketplace is cost effective for the client and maintains all of the advantages traditional plastic resins offer to produce durable consumer goods. Our EcoPure additive is added during the plastic production process to enhance the biodegradation* of plastics after they are disposed of in a landfill. EcoPure additives incorporate into plastic products so they can more easily be consumed by existing landfill microbes and have accelerated biodegradation* rates.
The reasons for going biodegradable* with EcoPure® are too numerous to list here, but here are 10 reasons why your company should lead in environmental stewardship with EcoPure.
- Plastic waste is a pervasive and global problem. Even as recycling rates rise, not all plastics can be recycled, and many end up in landfills. Biodegradable* plastics help solve the problem of plastic waste and is a clean energy source.
- EcoPure is organic. Thoroughly researched and created by engineers, EcoPure uses carbon based ingredients to enable durable polymers to biodegrade* like organic matter.
- EcoPure creates biodegradable* plastics without using a food source. Using EcoPure to create environmentally safe products does not cause unnecessary strain on finite resources, such as corn and water.
- EcoPure does not affect the integrity, quality, strength, durability, or other desirable properties of plastic. Untreated plastics have the same shelf life as those that are treated with EcoPure.
- EcoPure is versatile. The additive is available for EVA, HDPE, PET, LDPE, LLDPE, GPPS, PP, HIPS, Nylon, PVC and Polycarbonate plastics.
- EcoPure offers custom engineering. Our scientists are skilled at assessing the precise ratios necessary for the chemical demands of your plastic product.
- EcoPure has been rigorously tested. Our additives have successfully endured the ASTM D5511 test method to measure carbonaceous and methane gas produced – validating the biodegradation* process. It has also stood up under scrutiny in hundreds of third party tests in scientific laboratories.
- EcoPure actually accelerates the biodegradation* process.
- EcoPure products do not decompose prematurely. Our additive is only activated when it is in the presence of landfill microorganisms and enzymes, not on the shelf, during transportation or the usable life of the plastic product.
- EcoPure helps leave the earth a better place. Your business can create eco-friendly products that will appeal to environmentally-conscious consumers. Adding the EcoPure logo to a plastic product increases its marketability to consumers who are concerned with their environmental stewardship.
