Biodegradable
Scientifically proven plastic technology
d2w is a masterbatch technology which turns
ordinary plastic, at the end of its useful life, in the
presence of oxygen, into a material with a different
molecular structure.
At the end of the process, it is no longer a
plastic, and has changed into a material which is
biodegradable, by bacteria and fungi, in the open
environment.
With over 20 years of scientific research behind it,
d2w biodegradable technology is perfect to use with
most types of single-use plastics, bags, packaging
films and bottles.
The life cycle of plastic products enhanced with d2w biodegradable technology
Only 1% of d2w
masterbatch is added
to regular plastic at the
manufacturing stage
Products and packaging
made with d2w look and
feel like regular plastic
They can be recycled if
collected – but if they
escape into the open
environment
Sunlight and Oxygen will
help to convert the plastic
into biodegradable
materials
Without leaving toxic residues or microplastics behind.
Stages of biodegradation with d2w® technology:
1. d2w® masterbatch is added at the manufacturing stage.
2. Film containing d2w® is extruded and then converted into bags or packaging.
3. The product behaves like conventional plastic during its intended service life.
4. After its service life, the bag or packaging may end up in the open environment.
5. The d2w® then takes effect and the product begins to degrade in the presence of oxygen.
6. The product will degrade and biodegrade in a continuous, and irreversible process, leaving nothing but carbon dioxide, water and humus.
