Regardless of the diligence of eco-friendly consumers, certain products and packaging end up in a landfill. EPI (Environmental Products, Inc.) is the leading provider of oxo biodegradable plastic additive technology, which allows treated plastics to decompose faster and fully.
The largest category of plastics use is in packaging, whether it is food packaging, packaging boxes, product display packaging or gift and shopping bags. These items are often treated as one-time-use solutions and tossed in the garbage.
EPI promotes the use of their Totally Degradable Plastic Additives (“TDPA®”) technology as a way to address plastic waste issues. In production of the packaging, the additive is added, creating an easier to decompose product without losing the integrity and appearance of the product. Treated plastics only differ after they have been disposed of.
