1: The technology’s biodegradable master-batch is added at the manufacturing stage.
2: The film containing the technology is extruded, and then converted into the item being produced.
3: The product behaves like conventional plastic during its intended service life.
4: After its service life, the plastic item may be recycled if collected. If it ends up in the open environment, the technology takes effect and the product begins to degrade in the presence of oxygen and sunlight. The product will then biodegrade in a continuous, irreversible and unstoppable process leaving nothing more than carbon dioxide, water and biomass behind – no heavy metals or other toxic residues.

ADDED VALUE:
Safe packaging in Australia is entering a new era. Verified material standards and global product passport programs are reshaping how packaging is designed, certified and approved for market access.
Global supply chains for high density and low density polyethylene are rapidly shifting toward certified biodegradable alternatives. Australia must align its industry to remain competitive.
Biodegradability has become a financial advantage. Verified sustainable materials reduce long-term risk, meet ESG standards and deliver measurable value in a circular economy.
Industries are replacing recyclable claims with verified biodegradability. Certified materials that fully decompose in landfill now define real sustainability performance and compliance.
Australian classrooms are ideal places to build plastic awareness. Clear lessons on recycling codes, health impacts and safer materials help students reduce waste and choose biodegradable options with confidence.
Global brands are replacing traditional plastics with certified biodegradable HDPE and LDPE to meet rising regulatory pressure and consumer demand for sustainable packaging.
