Degradable
WE ARE EXCITED TO ANNOUNCE THAT AT POLYETHICS INDUSTRIES WE ARE THE FIRST MANUFACTURER TO USE 100% RECYCLED PLASTIC TO MAKE 100% RECYCLABLE PRODUCTS THAT ARE NOW 100% DEGRADABLE!!
We have always been committed to the environment but now after years of research we have made a strategic alliance with GREEN CLUB INC. to offer an environmentally friendly degradable alternative. We are the exclusive manufacturer in Canada to offer garbage bags containing the ADDIFLEX ADDITIVE. This complex additive allows us to make a plastic product that is oxo-biodegradable!! We can also offer compostable bags conforming to ASTM-6400 using the same technology.
It is a remarkably simple two stage process which is 100% safe for direct food contact. The additive breaks down the carbon-hydrogen bonds in plastic and reduces the plastic’s overall strength and molecular weight. The process also acts as a nutrient for microbes, which eat the broken down plastic molecules, reducing what was once plastic to water, carbon dioxide, and reusable biomass. The process leaves behind more biomass than carbon dioxide which it creates! Vegetable based compostable bags leave no usable biomass behind, creates methane gas during break down (a gas 20 times more harmful to the atmosphere than carbon dioxide) and worst of all for the end user it creates a bag of inferior quality.
Quality has and always will be our highest priority. We guarantee no reduction in the quality of the finished products whatsoever from the use of the additive. We can offer all of this at prices similar to our conventional plastic products.
