GoGreen the R way
Join the Revolution, the biodegradable plastics Revolution, with EcoPure. This groundbreaking additive makes regular
plastic biodegradable. Your product, like those above, can be made to break down into organic components with as little
as .7% (by weight) of EcoPure. And EcoPure is easy to use. Just add it in to your production process the same way you
would add color concentrate. No need to re-engineer your product. No new materials to struggle with. No flaking or
shortened shelf life. Your final product will be essentially indistinguishable from your current product. But when it’s finally
discarded it will return to the cycle of life. The future is now.

Extensive testing (ASTM D5511, D5338 and D5988) have shown that most
commonly used plastics will biodegrade when EcoPure is added in the production
process.
