Biodegradability Services
The challenge: reinvent the lifecycle of plastics. The “natural” process of degradation for fossil hard plastic matter takes between 200 and 400 years. At best, plastic waste is incinerated, even buried in landfills in certain countries with all the environmental consequences that it implies. Add to that the gradual depletion of fossil raw materials and there is a very real need for an alternative, which is where biosourced polymers (or ...

Today, less than 10% of collected plastic is recycled, and more often than not into products with a much lower value ...
