A small percentage of WRP additive is incorporated into the converters' manufacturing process. The additive produces no visible alterations to the end product nor does it require additional equipment.
Phase 2: Product Use
After distribution, the end product has an engineered lifespan that includes shelf life, intended purpose, and disposal. The physical properties of the end product have not been compromised in this phase.
Phase 3: Disposal
Our additives have been actively and unnoticeably oxidizing through the first two phases. Once an oxo-biodegradable product has been disposed of, the end-degradation process begins. In this phase, physical signs of end-point degradation start to become visible to the naked eye
Phase 4: Molecular Breakdown
Once the oxidation process has reached a certain point, microorganisms begin to colonize on the surface. Colony sizes on the plastic product depend on the degree of oxidation.
Phase 5: Biodegredation
The microorganisms actively metabolize oxygenated plastic. By-products from this process are H2O, CO2 and humus. These by-products are assimilated into the natural lifecycle of most ecosystems.
