Bio Protect

bio protect products are – totally degradable products made from "normal" polyethylene - the same as most bags - but also contain a percentage of oxo-biodegradable additive known as tdpa (totally degradable plastic additives) manufactured by a company called epi ( environmental products inc. ). the additives do not affect the strength and capabilities of the plastic for its desired use, but they accelerate the break down process once placed into waste. the additives are non-toxic. how does the material break down:- tdpa additives have been formulated so that after the product has been used and discarded, it undergoes oxidative degradation and breaks down into brittle fragments. this happens as a result of exposure to heat or uv light and mechanical stress (or any combination thereof). the plastic molecules become much smaller, water wettable, and microbes can use them as a food source. once in landfill the microorganisms break it down to carbon dioxide co2, water, humus ( complex organ
