‘Why Biodegradable?’ has been translated into Portuguese and Spanish
STAGES OF BIODEGRADATION:
- d2w biodegradable masterbatch is added at the manufacturing stage.
- Film containing d2w biodegradable masterbatch is extruded and then converted into bags or packaging.
- The product behaves like conventional plastic during its intended service life.
- After its service life, the bag or packaging may be recycled if collected, but :
- If it ends up in the open environment the d2w additive takes effect and the product begins to degrade in the presence of oxygen.
- The product will then biodegrade in a continuous, irreversible and unstoppable process leaving nothing more than carbon dioxide, water and biomass behind – no heavy metals or other toxic residues.
