EcoPure® Product Applications

EcoPure® helps reduce the waste from the hundreds of plastic products used everyday, by accelerating their biodegradation* in a microbial rich environment, such as a biologically active landfill. EcoPure® is an extremely versatile additive that can be used in a wide variety of applications, from bulk trash bags to custom engineered durable goods. Manufacturers have used EcoPure® with both thermoplastics and thermosetting polymers in many different resin types.  For processing ease EcoPure® is available in forms specific for use in EVA, EVOH, HDPE, LDPE, LLDPE, Nylons, PET, PETG, PolyCarbonate, PP, and various grades of PolyStyrene.

This versatility means just about any household or industrial plastic good can benefit from the addition of EcoPure® technology. Is your company doing all it can to help reduce the growing problem of of global plastic pollution? Plastics treated with EcoPure® can help lessen your impact on the environment by accelerating the biodegradability* of otherwise non-biodegradable plastic products in a biologically active environment.

* 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.
