D2W made by Symphony Environmental Technologies Plc, UK<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>D2W is the brand for controlled-life plastic technology which is designed to control and shorten the life of normal plastic products and packaging. D2W is a carefully researched and tested additive formulation which is added to normal plastic at the extrusion or casting stage of manufacture.<\/p>\n<p>Symphony\u2019s D2W formulation is so effective that it needs normally to be included at only 1%, resulting in considerable savings in cost, transport, and storage.<br \/>\nThe degradation process is initiated at the time the polyethylene or polypropylene is extruded by the inclusion of a small amount of d2w\u2122 additive, which works to break down the carbon-carbon bonds in the plastic leading to a lowering of the molecular weight and eventually to a loss of strength and other properties. Stabilisers work to ensure that a sufficiently long useful life is provided for each specific application. For example, a refuse sack might require a useful life of say 18 months before beginning to lose its strength whereas a bread bag might only require a few weeks.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_EPI_made_by_Environmental_Products_Inc_Canada\"><\/span><strong>3.

The principal chemical additives sold by EPI are proprietary oxo-biodegradable plastic additives. EPI is the pioneer and world\u2019s leading practitioner of oxo-biodegradable technology and has the experience and technical knowledge to design additive systems for polyethylene, polypropylene and polystyrene to meet widely varying needs for shelf and service life and degradation performance in a range of disposal medium and situations.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Reverte_made_by_Wells_Plastics_Limited_UK\"><\/span><strong>4.

Biodegrade plastic in a few short years \u2013 not thousands.The special technical characteristics of the reverte additives ensure that the product has a useful, pre-programmed, fit-for purpose lifetime followed by a post disposal breakdown process that consists of embrittlement, micro fragmentation and, finally, complete biodegradation to carbon dioxide, water and biomass.<\/p>\n<p>Reverte additive to the product is always less than 1% and the control time is just changing the formula of additives only.<br \/>\nThe main task of Reverte is truncated continuous polyolefin chain molecules, under the influence of oxygen, sunlight, and temperature. Accordingly, from a long chain, closely associated microorganisms that are not biodegradable, and Reverte has broken short chain molecules, the weak link, creating conditions for microbial decomposition polyolefin easily.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Biocom_made_by_Paramount_Packaging_Ireland\"><\/span><strong>5. Biocom made by Paramount Packaging, Ireland<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Biocom is an additive which can be added to HDPE ( high density polyethylene ) or MDPE (medium density polyethylene) bags or sacks or material which accelerates the degradation of the material. Depending on the amount added the product can break down in as little as six months in normal landfill conditions. Biocom is different from other similar additives in that the degradation is not photo sensitive and is therefore not triggered during the manufacturing process. This means that the products treated with Biocom will have a normal shelf life and the degradation will not commence until the bags are removed from their cartons. Degradable plastics should not be mistaken with biodegradable plastic substitutes. Biocom is not a biodegradable product.<br \/>\nThe last degradation process into organic powder, mix into soil and totally pollutes the environment.
