POLYCELL OXO-BIODEGRADABLE ECO BUBBLE
Incorporating ‘REVERTE’ Oxo-biodegradable Additives
After more than 2 years in
development, Polycell is pleased and excited to announce the pending
release of our environmentally friendly ‘Oxo-B Eco Bubble’.
Oxo-B Eco Bubble incorporating ‘Reverte’ Oxo-biodegradable masterbatch
is the result of running numerous trials using a wide range of additives
over a long period of time.
We settled on the use of Reverte as the end result in the degradation
process of our products far outweighs that of some like products that
currently exist in the market place.
Incorporating ‘Reverte’ Oxo-biodegradable additives into our
polyethylene resins will ensure that once Eco Bubble’s useful life is
over and it has been discarded into a rubbish tip or landfill it will
degrade (crack) and finally breakdown into smaller pieces with the aid
of UV light, oxygen and or
heat.
Once this has occurred, the smaller pieces are then subjected to
ingestion by microorganisms within the Rubbish heap or landfill and will
finally biodegrade into CO2 & H2O plus biomass making Polycell’s
Oxo-B Eco Bubble the most environmentally friendly bubble in Australia
& New Zealand.
ABOUT REVERTE
Plastics incorporating Reverte will ultimately biodegrade into CO2, H2O
and biomass when discarded whether ending up in any viable landfill or
another viable part of the waste stream.
Compared with other oxo-degradable additives available on the market,
Reverte additives contain a two part control package which
differentiates it as follows.
- Firstly, the Reverte additive control package is photo-initiated
which means that the oxo-breakdown reaction doesn’t significantly begin
before the product is exposed to UV light and or heat. Reverte therefore
gives an enhanced level of confidence compared to other
oxo-biodegradable additives, particularly with respect to ‘fit for
purpose’ product life times.
- Secondly, Reverte has secondary phase biodegradation promoters that
include microcellulose powder which assist in the growth of microbial
colonies. This speeds up and facilitates the ultimate biodegradation of
the plastic following the initial oxo-breakdown.
