Biodegradable Additive produced by BioSphere has been tested to increase the biodegradation of regular synthetic polymers. The additives which are proprietary to BioSphere are showing test results of 15-25% biodegradation of synthetic polymers within 30 days. biodegradable plastic company BioSphere has tested their product within polystyrene, polyethylene, polypropylene and PET to enhance the ability of these polymers biodegradability.
Biodegradable Plastic Additives
The biodegradable additive when combined with synthetic resin allows microorganisms to hydrolyze the polymer chain allowing for a natural biodegradation process. These synthetic resins would take hundreds of years for microorganisms to be able to consume them due to the polymer chain length(Molecular Weight), the BioSphere biodegradable additive interacts with the enzymes which are produced by microorganisms for the reduction of the chain length. Once the chain length has been reduced the polymer’s carbon can be consumed by hungry microorganisms looking for food to eat.
Biodegradable additives by BioSphere are cost affordable and add between 4-10% to the resin cost for the environmental solution. BioSphere’s biodegradable additive has been tested by 3rd party labs which conduct the ASTM D5511 testing for biodegradation. BioSphere biodegradable additive is packaged at a price that makes sense for consumers and manufacturers looking for a new product which is different than competition at a price which is comparable to regular synthetic resin without the technology. The simple biodegradable additive is added at a 1% load weight to the synthetic resin and it does not interfere with the physical properties of the plastic product, it maintains all physical characteristics of the synthetic plastic article and the shelf stability is unchanged. The additive which is produced in the United States by BioSphere is available worldwide through distribution or directly from BioSphere.
