SYDNEY, Australia - In the 1960s film The Graduate, a meddling family friend takes aimless collegiate Ben aside to proffer unwanted career advice: “plastics.”
More than 30 years later, the planet is choking on the stuff - plastic packaging in particular. With green consciousness now taking root from Boston to Bangalore, the new hot career tip might be: “biodegradable plastics.” » Continue reading
Bio-Batch technology is a process which enables the microorganisms in the environment to metabolize the molecular structure of plastic films into an inert humus-like form that is harmless to the environment.
Bio-Batch process utilizes several proprietary bio-active compounds that are combined into a masterbatch pellet that is easily added to plastic resins using existing technology. The biodegradation process begins with proprietary swelling agent that, when combined with heat and moisture, expands the plastics’ molecular structure. After the swelling agent creates space within the plastic’s molecular structure, the masterbatch’s combination of bio-active compounds, discovered after thousands of laboratory trials, attracts a colony of microorganisms that metabolize and neutralize the plastic. » Continue reading
