EcoPure® in Plastic Manufacturing

Increase Consumer Demand and Environmental Stewardship by Making Your Manufactured Plastics Biodegradable* with EcoPure®

Ease of Implementing EcoPure® in the Manufacturing Process

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.

Top Reasons to go Biodegradable* with EcoPure®:

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®.

  1. 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.
  2. EcoPure® is organic. Thoroughly researched and created by engineers, EcoPure® uses carbon based ingredients to enable durable polymers to biodegrade* like organic matter.
  3. 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.
  4. 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®.
  5. EcoPure® is versatile. The additive is available for EVA, HDPE, PET, LDPE, LLDPE, GPPS, PP, HIPS, Nylon, PVC and Polycarbonate plastics.
  6. EcoPure® offers custom engineering. Our scientists are skilled at assessing the precise ratios necessary for the chemical demands of your plastic product.
  7. 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.
  8. EcoPure® actually accelerates the biodegradation* process.
  9. 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.
  10. 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.

Upholding the Integrity of Your Plastics

When you use EcoPure® in your manufacturing process, your plastics will not be any less durable, strong, or dependable. In fact, un-treated plastics have the exact same shelf life as EcoPure® treated biodegradable* products. The only difference is that your business will be leaving the earth a better place – participating in an environmental solution to plastic pollution.

EcoPure® can also be custom engineered to meet your business’ unique needs. EcoPure® will not alter the integrity of the base plastic resins. EcoPure® treated, biodegradable* plastics will maintain their original look, durability, and shelf life until the product has been disposed of in a landfill environment.

At Bio-Tec Environmental we are passionate about enhancing the biodegradability* of traditional plastics.

EcoPure® additives are an end of life solution that successfully facilitate and shorten the biodegradation* process of a full range of plastic products when disposed of in landfill environments and marine environments.

  • If an item is recyclable, it’s important to know that it can still be recyclable after adding EcoPure®. Bio-Tec Environmental always encourages to recycle first but if an item is not recyclable, EcoPure® can now make it biodegradable*.

EcoPure® Benefits in Comparison to Other Technologies

While you have several plastic waste solutions to choose from EcoPure® offers some of the best benefits in comparison to other technologies:

logo for Bio Tec Environmental
  • Compostable plastic is designed to biodegrade* in commercial composting facilities. EcoPure® is designed to biodegrade* in landfill environments where more than 85% of plastics end up.
  • Compostable packages are not designed to degrade in landfill environments. Instead, compostable packages are designed to biodegrade* under specific conditions (e.g. heat, moisture) that are only achieved at commercial composting facilities. These facilities are not available in many locations.
  • Oxo-degradable plastics require oxygen and UV light to biodegrade*—two things not found in landfills. EcoPure® plastics are designed to biodegrade* in both aerobic & anaerobic environments, like landfills.
  • Oxo-degradable plastics cannot be used with all common packaging plastics. EcoPure® can be added to just about any type of plastic.
  • Oxo-degradable plastics can leave behind harmful byproducts, EcoPure® treated plastics break down completely, forming inert biomass and can generate clean energy.

EcoPure® is different because it is designed to allow plastic to biodegrade* in landfill environments rich with microbes but lacking oxygen and UV light. Plastics made with EcoPure® are biodegradable* in both aerobic and anaerobic environments, making them ideal for landfills, where most plastics are discarded.
