Watch the Bag Disappear

Posted January 30, 2010 7:59 AM

Symphony's d2w additive is going commercial. When used in normal production, the additive creates a shopping bag that will self-destruct at a predetermined time, from six months to several years. The degradation, shown in this video, requires no environmental factors to aid the process either on land or in water.

The preceding article is a "sneak peek" from Plastics & Resins, a newsletter from GlobalSpec. To stay up-to-date and informed on industry trends, products, and technologies, subscribe to Plastics & Resins today.
