The most obvious applications include one-use, disposable products such as waste disposal bags, all types of packaging products,
disposable diapers, erosion control materials, plant containers, disposable medical apparatuses, agricultural films, food containers (i.e.
McDonalds-type clam shell containers for sandwiches) and utensils, oil spill containment systems, and many others. Due to the exceptional
shelf life and usable life of products manufactured with the additives, wherein biodegradation does not begin until disposal, items that are
not of the "one use and then dispose of" type are beginning to be very important applications for the company�s technology as well. Items
such as toys, games, tableware, notebooks, computer and cellular telephone casings, auto parts, etc., are all being developed and are
considered to be extremely large potential markets.
The company has developed the technology to the point that nearly any plastic product producer can use the additive without having to
modify their existing methods of production any more than if they were changing color. The resulting plastic products exhibit the same
desired mechanical properties, have effectively the same shelf-lives, and yet, when disposed of, are able to be metabolized into
ecologically beneficial biomass by the communities of microorganisms commonly found almost everywhere on this planet.
This biodegradation process can take place aerobically and an aerobically. It can take place with or without the presence of light. These
factors allow for biodegradation even in landfill conditions that are normally not conducive to any plastic degradation and keep the plastic
degradation from occurring when not desired.
The company's technology differs significantly from other "degradable plastics" emerging in the market today because it does not attempt to
replace the currently popular plastic resin formulizations but instead enhances them by rendering them biodegradable. The company
believes that it has the least expensive, most widely applicable, proven technology for making plastic products biodegradable available in
the world today.
