How long does it take for an ENSO bottle to biodegrade?
There are a number of factors which contribute to the length of time required to fully biodegrade. These include the surface area of the plastic, the mass of the plastic, the thickness of the bottle, the microbial activity, oxygen or lack of oxygen, etc. For example, a bottle with smooth surfaces will biodegrade slower than if the bottle had grooves. The latest ASTM D 5511 laboratory test results show that ENSO bottles in a perfect anaerobic environment will fully biodegrade in 250 days. In microbial environments such as found in landfills and composting environments, biodegradation will take longer.
