Plastic Making a Comeback?

By: aplasticbag

Yes, plastic bags are disappearing in cities nationwide. Plastic bag bans and plastic bag taxes, have been taking over major cities like Seattle and San Francisco, hoping to reduce the production and use of retail plastic bags. This type of disappearing act however, is much more impressive. Recently, Symphony Environmental Technologies has developed an additive that makes plastic bags oxo-biodegradable. This is a huge development, for obvious reasons, and can relatively stop the whole “plastic bag ban” movement dead in its tracks. Major corporations have already begun to employ the use of this substance, known as “d2w,” for the millions of retail bags in their distribution.

So how does this wonder chemical work exactly? Essentially, when d2w is added at the extrusion stage of the plastic production process, it renders the plastic ‘oxo-biodegradable’. This means that the plastic will break down much faster, and with much less damage to the environment. Normally, plastic bags and the popular poly bags take hundreds of years to degrade, in the process, breaking down into smaller and smaller bits of plastic, which can contaminate the natural environment. Plastic bag degradation with the d2w additive leaves absolutely no fragments, methane, or harmful residues. The plastic bag essentially turns into water, carbon dioxide and biomass. Some other advantages of d2w use in plastic are that it doesn’t need to be buried to biodegrade, it needs less raw material for its production, and it still retains the properties of conventional plastic, like being durable and waterproof.

Now, major retailers and promotional plastic bags users are adopting the product and endorsing its use worldwide. D2w will be appearing in major plastic products from Grupo Bimbo (Mexico), Luibeg International (India), and Eco Polymers (Dubai). Market watchers say that while Symphony has seen ups and downs, it’s big-time use and endorsement by such companies around the world are making it the company to watch for investment opportunities in the years to come.
