ENZO0001 Enzymoplast^® Compostable Grade

This Masterbatch is added to conventional polyethylene and the resulting film is compostable to all international standards.

compostability

A process by which microbial organisms transform or alter (through metabolic or enzymatic action) the structure of chemicals introduced into the environment. The microbial organisms transform polyethylene within 180 days into CO2, water and biomass without any toxic residues, under industrial composting conditions.
