- Controlled Lifespan: Product life (i.e shelf & service life) customizable from months to years according to application
- Retained Physical Properties: Comparable physical and mechanical properties as conventional plastics during lifespan
- Degradable: Ultimately biodegrades in the open environment to carbon dioxide, water and biomass, thereby returning to nature
- Ease of Manufacture: Integrated into routine manufacturing using the same machinery and equipment as conventional plastics.
- Cost Effective: Low addition rates (e.g. typically 1-2%), with no requirement for specific machinery or processing
- Food Contact: Compliant with FDA (USA) & EFSA (EU) requirements for direct food contact applications
- Non-ecotoxic: Passes all ecotoxicity tests, including seed germination, plant growth and organism survival, in accordance with OECD standards
- Recyclable: Recyclable, without requiring segregation from regular plastics, in conventional recycling streams
- Standards: Tested in accordance with international standards, ASTM D6954 (USA) & BS 8472 (UK)
- Scientifically-Proven: TDPA™ technology has been rigorously and independently validated by third-party laboratories for over 20 years
