Industrial scale testing up to 80 % added Bio-Plas containing plastics show that there is no effect on the process or the product and no “follow-on” effect. In some cases the recycled granulate might be improved from improved blending. How is shelf life of PET Bottles products There are no difficulties with regards to the shelf life of the degradable product What is left after the degradation process? All that is left of a product containing Bio-Plas after complete degradation is H2O, CO2 and biomass. After Phase I (the physico-chemical degradation) short low molecular weight compounds (< MW 5.000) remain - these are subsequently biodegraded by Fungi, Bacteria and Algae to CO2, H2O and new biomass. How do Bio-Plas products meet international standards for degradable plastics? The only standards that currently exist are for 'compostable plastics' (hydro-biodegradable) and these are not designed for o
