Newly listed biodegradable modified masterbatch "Cycle+."

ウエストワン

We are pleased to introduce the biodegradable modified masterbatch "Cycle+." Cycle+ is a masterbatch additive that modifies polyethylene and polypropylene to be biodegradable. This groundbreaking masterbatch allows for the entire resin to be modified to be biodegradable by adding it to PE or PP resins. Since only 2% of the masterbatch needs to be added, there is no concern about compromising the original physical properties of PE or PP. Products molded with Cycle+ begin to decompose after the expected usage period and ultimately break down completely into water, carbon dioxide, and biomass. While some similar biodegradable modifiers leave microplastics after decomposition, a significant feature of Cycle+ is that it decomposes without leaving any microplastics behind. It meets food safety standards such as those set by the FDA, making it suitable for food contact applications. (Films made with Cycle+ comply with Japan's Food Sanitation Act.)

Biodegradable modified masterbatch lifecycle
Lyfecycle is a masterbatch additive that modifies PE and PP to be biodegradable, using a unique technology that differs from oxidative degradation.

●Features of lyfecycle □ Biodegradable without leaving microplastics □ Only 2% masterbatch addition, allowing use without compromising the properties of PE and PP □ Added PE and PP can be recycled as usual Biotransformation is a unique "timer-based" biodegradation technology. ●Mechanism of biodegradation by lyfecycle Lyfecycle is designed to begin decomposition after the expected usage period of the product (18 to 24 months). Once the expected period has passed in a natural environment with sunlight, air, and water, the decomposition of the molded product begins. The carbon bonds in PE and PP break down, leading to weathering and depolymerization, and through microbial decomposition, it is ultimately completely broken down into water, carbon dioxide, and biomass. Due to sufficient depolymerization during the weathering process, no microplastics are left behind.
