TDPA™ plastics are oxo-biodegradable, with a customisable product life, during which they exhibit comparable physical and mechanical properties (e.g. appearance, strength, flexibility etc) to conventional plastics. At the end of its product life, TDPA™ plastic will degrade and biodegrade if it escapes into the open environment, whereas conventional plastics demonstrate minimal degradation under similar conditions.
