d2w® Degradable Plastics Product
Explore all the product ranges and applications available using d2w® degradable plastics Technology.Technologies have now become available which can produce plastic products such as shopping bags, garbage sacks, packaging etc. which are fit for purpose, but will harmlessly degrade at the end of their useful life. These fall into two broad categories, namely:

More Information About Biodegradable Plastics
|
Oxo-Biodegradable |
|
 |
|
Hydro-Biodegradable |
|
Oxo-biodegradable plastics, made from a by-product of oil-refining, which degrade in the environment by a process of oxidation initiated by an additive, and then biodegrade after
their molecular weight has reduced to the point where naturally-occurring micro-organisms can access the material. Hydro-biodegradable is much more expensive than oxo-biodegradable.
|
Hydro-biodegradable plastics, made wholly or partly from crops, which biodegrade in a highly microbial environment, such as composting.In the case of oxo-biodegradable and hydro-biodegradable, degradation begins with an abiotic process (oxidation and hydrolysis respectively), followed by a biological process. Both types emit CO2 as they degrade, but hydro-biodegradable can also emit methane. Both types are compostable6, but only oxo-biodegradable can be economically recycled. |
