- What is EcoPure? -
EcoPure is our proprietary blend of organic materials that
does not modify the base resin to which it
is added. The latter retains all its
original properties and shelf life.
EcoPure is melt-compounded into a
masterbatch carrier resin, which is then
pelletized. EcoPure initiates and
promotes soley a biodegradation process,
and does so only in the presence of
microorganisms such as are found in
landfills and similar environments.
The
EcoPure additive renders normally
water-repellent polymers more hydrophillic
attracting and promoting the intimate
adhesion of the prerequisite biofilm.
The additive system then facilitates the
growth of syntrophic colonies of diverse
microorganisms that degrade hydrocarbon
polymers through and enzymatically
catalyzed oxidative process PP;PE) as well
as by oxidative ring-opening (PS).
- About our
Products and Company -
Our biodegradable plastics solutions, using EcoPure, are completely organic,
non-starch based and non-destructive to the environment.
They are designed for polystyrene (PS),
polypropylene (PP), polyethylene
terephthalate (PET), polyethylene (PE),
polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and most other
types of polymer. Our newest
formulation, EcoPure G2, is designed for
use with clear PET, in such applications
as film and bottles. If you are looking for more information on EcoPure, our biodegradable additive, please view our Products Section.
Bio-Tec Environmental and all of our employees are internally devoted to inventing, producing and promoting environmentally-conscious biodegradable products and solutions world wide.
We are taking the first step in providing a viable biodegradable plastic additive, one that can be used in
many applications, and we plan to build a legacy in the environmental industry that other corporations will follow.
We hope by introducing biodegradable plastics solutions to a world of manufacturing, we are able to aid the environment in an effective way. Strategically partnering with larger firms, we can bring biodegradable plastic products and packaging that are cost affordable yet still maintain all the advantages of traditional resins in today's stressful environment.
Bio-Tec Environmental's previous formulation was sold under the trade name
Bio-Batch. With further improvements and refinements, Bio-Batch has
evolved into today's EcoPure. EcoPure is more cost effective with
as little as a .7% load weight required. EcoPure is FDA compliant and has been
proven not to leach. EcoPure can processed at up to 600F, which covers a wide range of polymers.
EcoPure G2 is also our new formulation for the PET industry. It has the
same approvals as EcoPure, but it is a clear form for the PET industry.
Our goal at Bio-Tec is to bring to you, our dedicated customers, solutions for your environmental concerns. We thank you for your business and appreciate any feedback that our R&D team, inventors and staff can work on to further our partnership in cleaning up the environment.
