BioSphere's biodegradable plastic additive enhances the biodegradation of plastic materials when placed into an active microbial environment. Synthetic polymers are biodegradable over a long period of time and BioSphere plastic additive enhances that biodegradation giving microbes a greater ability to consume the plastic at a rate that is 20-100 times faster than normal synthetic polymers. BioSphere Plastic Additives work in PE, PP, PS, PET and all major resin types.
