The Environmental Cost of
Plastic Bag Waste

Our plastic products incorporate our exclusive patented  Trioxo-d technology. BioSafe bags are designed with a controlled lifetime and when discarded will degrade using our  Trioxo-d technology, leaving no toxic or harmful residue. BioSafe bags are highly versatile as they have the ability to degrade, biodegrade or can be recycled before the onset of degradation.

At the present time, degradable and biodegradable products on the market are predominantly produced from specialty starch-based (PLA) biodegradable polymers used to manufacture compost bags. These degradable and biodegradable polymers have remained relatively unchanged to date, are very expensive to manufacture, and technically complex (very difficult to process). In addition, the majority of the end products lack clarity, wet (hydrophillic) and tensile strength. Also, these bags are not recyclable. Due to their high price, mediocre processability and variable product quality, the use of degradable and biodegradable polymers has been very limited in the USA, Asia and Europe.
Key differences include:

1. Our BioSafe garbage bag product will degrade in landfills, photo-degrade (through exposure to sunlight) in city streets and in the countryside, and begin to biodegrade at compost sites and in soil. Once activate degradation begins the plastic becomes brittle (experiencing a loss in tensile strength and elasticity), breaks up into small pieces and then during the natural digestion process, it turns itself into a food source for microbes and fungi.  The plastic pieces are converted into energy, carbon dioxide, water and biomass. The Polyethylene products in the presence of moisture, microorganisms, oxygen and soil, are biodegradable. (Per ASTM D6954-04).

2. Trioxo-d garbage bag technology is incorporated into standard plastic resins (detailed below). This allows polymers to be converted into environmentally acceptable polymers, extending further their range of applications.

3. End products are more economical than competing biodegradable products. Degradable products incorporating our Trioxo-d technology are substantially less expensive than competing (starch-based) degradable and biodegradable plastics products.

4. A critical advantage is that Trioxo-d does not alter the physical performance characteristics of plastic.

5. During its useful life, a BioSafe bag manufactured with Trioxo-d is indistinguishable in look, weight and performance from regular plastic bags.

6. BioSafe garbage bags manufactured with Trioxo-d contain no controversial chemicals, or any components requiring special regulatory approval.  It is also food contact approved (FDA – USA and SCF – EU).

7. BioSafe products with controlled lifetime act like a molecular clock and, the plastic will reliably degrade completely in months or years, based on the specified life cycle of the plastic product.
