Biodegradant Additives

Based on 20 products - Last update on the Jun 26, 2025

Biodegradant additives are specialized compounds incorporated into plastics to enhance their biodegradability. These additives typically appear as fine powders or liquids that blend seamlessly into polymer matrices. Key features include their ability to reduce the environmental impact of plastic waste, making them suitable for applications such as packaging, agricultural films, and disposable items. 

Sub-types include oxo-biodegradable and hydro-biodegradable versions.

d2w

by Symphony Environmental

d<sub>2</sub>w by Symphony Environmental is an oxo-degradant masterbatch. It is designed to control and shorten the life of normal plastic products and packaging. It converts ordinary plastic at the end of its useful life into a material with a completely different molecular structure. At that stage it is no longer a plastic but has become a material which can be bio-assimilated in the environment in the same way as a leaf and the product eventually becomes carbon-dioxide, water and biomass. It is compatible with PE, PP and PS. It works with virgin and recycled plastic. d<sub>2</sub>w addition rate is 1%. It successfully certifies with British standard 8472, US standard ASTM D6954, United Arab Emirates standard 5009:2009 and French Accord AFNOR T51-808.

Evanesto®

by Carbios

Evanesto® by Carbios is an enzymated masterbatch that makes plant-based plastic compostable. It is innovative and eco-responsible alternative that allows to reach zero waste. Plastics containing it are assimilated to bio-waste and transformed into compost in less than 200 days. It is suitable for processing by methods such as extrusion, injection molding, calendaring or thermoforming. It is activated under composting conditions (humidity above 55%, temperature around 28°C, pH around 9). <br> <ul style="padding-left: 40px;"><li>It also facilitates and accelerates industrial composting and generates biogas in mechanization. </li> <li>It reduces greenhouse gas emission and allows non-toxic biodegradation. </li> <li>It is added at a rate of 2-5% to a compound with a high PLA level during traditional plastic transformation processes. </li> <li>This additive is suitable for the production of all items containing PLA, particularly intended for single-use applications. </li> <li>It is used in packaging, flexible films, disposable tableware, fruits and vegetable bags, pods, routing films, soft welding films and mulching films. </li> <li>It is recommended dosage level is 5-10% for effective results. </li> <li>It meets the requirements of materials suitable for food contact, in accordance with regulations No. 1935/2004 and No. 10/2011. </li> <li>Evanesto® has shelf life of 1 year. </li></ul>
