Our Product
ECM BioFilms, Inc. markets additives to plastic product manufacturers which produce biodegradable* plastic products that can be priced competitively with, and have the same mechanical characteristics as, their traditional non-degradable products but will be much more sustainable because of their preferred end-of-life.
Plastic products made with ECM additives:
· Fully biodegrade* when disposed of in a biodegrading environment, either anaerobically or aerobically:
· in landfills
· in compost (backyard compost or commercial facilities)
· if buried or littered in the ground
· in agricultural and erosion-control settings
· Are recyclable
· Can be made with recycled resins
· Do not use heat, light or mechanical stress to break them down
· Do not require special handling
(unlike PLA and oxodegradable products)
· Do not contain heavy metals (unlike most oxodegradable products)
MasterBatch Pellets™ are used for extruding film and sheet (blown or cast), blow molding, injection molding and rotomolding products and parts. The addition of MasterBatch Pellets™ allows your product to retain its desired attributes without adversely effecting its integrity and cosmetics.
