THE FACTS:
Statistics don’t lie, and the environmental hazards created by our plastic trash has already become a global crisis.
According to the EPA, Americans generated 33 million tons of plastics in 2013, equivalent to 13 percent of the waste stream and of that only 9% of plastics were recycled in 2013.
Depending on the study, estimates for bio degradation of common use items such as single use cups, bottles and shopping bags ranges from a couple of centuries to 1000 years, any way you look at it, it is a really long time.
Why so long? While there are numerous reasons, it is basically that microbes do not recognize plastics as a food source.
INTRODUCING “Coollid-Bio” :
“Coollid-Bio” Lids are made with Eco-One® revolutionary patented technology material that can be both Bio-Based and Eco-Friendly, as well as 100% Recyclable.
. Eco-One® is an organic additive (not an oxo-biodegradable additive) that enhances the biodegradation of plastic products in a biologically active landfill.
· Eco-One® enhances the biodegradation of CoolLids in a biologically active landfill (appropriate facilities not available in all areas). ASTM D5511 tests that represent biologically active landfills on representative packages have shown between 5% to 15% biodegradation in 67 days.
· Enhanced biodegradable CoolLids made with Eco-One®. ASTM D5511 tests that represent biologically active landfills (appropriate facilities may not be available in all areas) on representative packages have shown between 5% to 15% biodegradation in 67 days.
· The plastic bag for our Coollid-Bio bags package is designed to biodegrade in a biologically active landfill (appropriate facilities not available in all areas). ASTM D5511 tests that represent biologically active landfills on representative packages have shown 12.5% biodegradation in 67 days.
