//d2w®: biodegradable plastic ITA/ENG
Plastic is strong, durable, versatile, lightweight, safe and inexpensive. It is made from a by-
product of oil refining which would otherwise be wasted, so nobody is importing oil to make plastic
products.
However, the problem identified by governments and NGOs around the world is that plastic does
last rather too long if it gets into the environment and especially in the oceans.
Symphony has found the answer to this problem. The additive d2w® put into the plastic at the
extrusion stage will make the finished product "oxo-biodegradable" so that it will degrade and
disappear in a short timescale, leaving no fragments, no methane and no harmful residues.
Degradability is not a disposal option - you can still re-use and recycle - it is low cost insurance
against the accumulation of plastic waste in the environment.
There is little or no on-cost, because d2w® environmentally-responsible plastic products are
made with the same machinery and workforce as ordinary plastic and there is no need to change
suppliers.
Kromabatch is the Italian distributor for d2w® by Symphony and has developed a considerable
know-how in the fields of degradable plastics. Kromabatch can provide also a wide range of color
and additive masterbatches compatible with the degradation and biodegradation mechanisms, that
can be used together with d2w®.
