At last people are beginning to realise that there is a difference between oxo-degradable and oxo-biodegradable plastic!
The Consumer Goods Forum have published their nine “Golden Design Rules” for optimal plastic design, production and recycling.
Rule 2 is headed “Remove Problematic Elements from Packaging” and they include oxo-degradable plastic in their problematic elements.
However, they make it clear that “This rule does not apply to oxo-biodegradable plastics”
Symphony Environmental Technologies plc (LON:SYM) is a world leader in the development of additives to make ordinary plastic biodegradable and protective technologies to enhance plastic products.
