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.

Global brands are replacing traditional plastics with certified biodegradable HDPE and LDPE to meet rising regulatory pressure and consumer demand for sustainable packaging.
Groundbreaking research links nanoplastics to endocrine disruption, fertility issues, and hormone-sensitive cancers. Exposure now starts in childhood and accumulates over time.
Multinational brands are accelerating the shift to biodegradable packaging as market, policy, and investor pressures converge to eliminate single-use plastics at scale.
Traditional plastics persist for centuries and shed microplastics — GT leads the shift to biodegradable packaging that breaks down safely and supports planetary health.
The Greener Tech Group explores the differences between HDPE and LDPE plastics—both made biodegradable—offering insights into which material best suits your sustainable packaging needs.
The Greener Technology Group explains how biodegradable plastic undergoes depolymerization,allowing microbes to fully break down the bottle into natural fertilizer without microplastics or toxins.
