Biodegradation is the secretion of acids which break down the molecular structure and emit either Methane Gas or CO2 and leave behind highly nitrous soil. The entire mass must be broken down into these three things to be considered biodegradable. By this definition products made with BioGreen Plastic are biodegradable.
Degradable means the plastic is only broken down into smaller pieces and will never completely disappear as is the case with starch based plastics. In many cases these products begin to degrade the moment they are made which leads to a shortened useful life. However this is not the case with BioGreen PlasticTM.
Products made with BioGreen Plastic do not begin biodegrading until they are placed into an active microbial environment such as landfills or compost piles. The bio-active compounds are activated In the presence of naturally occurring organisms found In both aerobic and anaerobic environments. The process takes from approximately 1-5 years.
The additive is completely organic, non-starch based and non-destructive to the environment. It is also non-toxic and actually helps the environment. This additive creates an accelerated biodegradable cycle which occurs In the common anaerobic environment you find In landfills or compost facilities. The final product left behind with BioGreen is Humus and Methane (Bio-Mass and Bio-gas). The humus can be used as new soil to grow plants in and the methane may be harvested into fuel.
