Organic additive to help plastic biodegrade 90+% faster to generate waste-to-energy – Australia
Posted on December 7, 2021 by DrRossH in Plastic Waste NewsSource: Organic additive to help plastic biodegrade 90+% faster to generate waste-to-energy
Local Melbourne-based business, Biogone, is leading plastic technology in Australia with an organic additive to help plastic biodegrade approximately 90+% faster than conventional plastics when it’s disposed to a modern landfill.
Unlike the degradable chemical additive that causes the plastic to break up into microplastics in air and sunlight, their technology is not a chemical but a biological process. It is using an organic additive which is a special food source for microbes. It is mixed in with the raw plastic material at product formation time. The inert additive lays alongside the polymer chains and has no impact on them. The plastic retains all its original mechanical properties, such as strength, colour, waterproofness, shelf life and recyclability.
