About Bags
IMPROVING THE HUMAN CONDITION
Our patented design transforms the unsightly trash bags to an esthetically pleasing and eye-catching product. The bags are leak-proof, tear resistant and ultra-strong.
Oxo-biodegradation means degradation resulting from oxidative and cell-mediated phenomena, either simultaneously or successively. The plastic degrades by oxidation until its molecular weight is low enough to be accessible to bacteria and fungi, who then recycle it back into nature. These plastics are tested for degradation, biodegradation, and ecotoxicity according to ASTM D6954-24.
d2w is a masterbatch technology which turns ordinary plastic, at the end of its useful life, in the presence of oxygen, into a material with a different molecular structure. At the end of the process, it is no longer a plastic, and has changed into a material which is biodegradable, by bacteria and fungi, in the open environment. With over 20 years of scientific research behind it, d2w biodegradable technology is perfect to use with most types of single-use plastics bags.

IMPACT SNAPSHOT
- 100 million plastic bags are used every year in the USA. Approximately 300 bags per person
- Takes more than 500 years for plastic bags to photodegrade
- 87% of the bags end up in landfills and the ocean.
Stages of biodegradation with d2w® technology:
- d2w® masterbatch is added at the manufacturing stage.
- Film containing d2w® is extruded and then converted into bags.
- The product behaves like conventional plastic during its intended service life.
- After its service life, the bag may end up in the open environment.
- The d2w® then takes effect and the product begins to degrade in the presence of oxygen.
- The product will degrade and biodegrade in a continuous, and irreversible process, leaving nothing but carbon dioxide, water and biomass.
