Streamlined Integration: No Major Production Adjustments Required
A significant advantage of EcoPure® lies in its seamless integration into existing plastic production systems. Where many biodegradable alternatives demand costly new equipment and process revisions, EcoPure® functions as a “drop-in” additive, allowing manufacturers to maintain their current production methodologies without interruption.
- Utilization with current manufacturing equipment eliminates the need for costly upgrades.
- Compatibility with injection molding, extrusion, and thermoforming processes.
- Reduction of production disruptions while enhancing sustainability initiatives.
- Elimination of the need for additional labor training, facilitating seamless adoption.
Unlike certain biodegradable plastics that require specialized processing conditions, EcoPure® blends effortlessly into standard plastic production. Whether producing food packaging, medical supplies, or industrial components, EcoPure® facilitates a straightforward transition to eco-conscious plastics without requiring expensive reconfigurations.
Economical Implementation: Maximizing Impact with Minimal Input
Sustainability should not incur excessive costs. EcoPure® is applied at a mere 1% Let-Down Ratio (LDR), signifying that only a minimal quantity is necessary to significantly enhance biodegradability. This low inclusion rate ensures minimal cost impact while maximizing environmental benefits.
- Lower cost compared to traditional biodegradable materials.
- Efficiency for high-volume production without escalating expenses.
- Meeting sustainability demands without compromising profit margins.
- Scalability for both small and large production runs.
The ability to incorporate EcoPure® without escalating production costs provides a transformative advantage for businesses seeking to balance profitability with environmental responsibility. This cost-effective approach empowers companies to meet regulatory requirements and consumer demands for greener products while maintaining healthy margins.
Maintaining Product Integrity: Preserving Plastic Strength and Performance
A prevalent concern with biodegradable plastics is the potential compromise of durability. EcoPure® is engineered to maintain essential plastic properties while ensuring biodegradation occurs exclusively within biologically active landfills.
- Preservation of tensile strength, flexibility, and structural integrity.
- Ensuring adherence to industry performance standards.
- Applicability to both short-term and long-term plastic products.
- Enhancement of biodegradability without altering the final product’s aesthetics or functionality.
In contrast to other biodegradable additives that may weaken plastics over time, EcoPure® ensures that products remain robust, reliable, and functional until disposal, at which point biodegradation is accelerated in appropriate environments.
Versatility: Compatibility with a Wide Range of Plastics
Unlike some biodegradable additives with restricted applications, EcoPure® is compatible with a broad spectrum of resins, rendering it suitable for diverse industries.
- Compatibility with PET, HDPE, LDPE, PP, PS, and more.
- Suitability for food packaging, medical plastics, consumer goods, and industrial applications.
- Empowerment of manufacturers to utilize a single additive across multiple product lines.
- Elimination of the need for multiple biodegradable solutions across diverse product categories.
With broad compatibility, EcoPure® simplifies inventory management and expands sustainable opportunities across numerous industries, facilitating the standardization of sustainability initiatives.
Harmonising Biodegradability with Recyclability
A critical challenge in sustainability is ensuring that biodegradable plastics remain recyclable. Many additives interfere with recyclability, but EcoPure® is engineered to preserve a plastic product’s recyclability while enabling landfill biodegradation.
- Elimination of contamination risks in recycling facilities.
- Empowerment of businesses to achieve both biodegradability and recyclability goals.
- Reduction of landfill waste while maintaining material reuse opportunities.
Manufacturers are not forced to choose between biodegradability and recyclability – EcoPure® delivers both.
Validated Performance: Scientifically Backed and Industry Trusted
Safety and Compliance: Food Contact and Environmental Standards
A Practical and Effective Approach to Sustainability
EcoPure® is a revolutionary organic plastic additive that significantly increases the biodegradation* rate of plastics and plastic products.
* Biodegradation rates of EcoPure®-treated plastic materials measured according to the ASTM D5511 test method. Tests are generally conducted using 20% to 30% solids content; solids content in naturally wetter landfills range from 55% to 65%, while the driest landfills may reach 93%. Actual biodegradation rates will vary in biologically-active landfills according to the type of plastic used, the product configuration, and the solid content, temperature and moisture levels of the landfill.
