Plastic is lightweight, flexible, strong, durable, heat sealable, impervious to moisture, recyclable and reusable, but..... ..... whether by intent or accident, some plastic will always find its way into our environment and oceans, creating an eyesore and damaging the environment. A masterbatch which, when included at the manufacturing stage, turns ordinary plastic at the end of its useful life, in the presence of oxygen, into a material with a different molecular structure. At the end of that process it is no longer a plastic and has become a material which will disappear in the open environment in the same way as a leaf. d 2 w controlled-life plastic technology Symphony Environmental Ltd 6 Elstree Gate, Elstree Way, Borehamwood Hertfordshire WD6 1JD, UK Tel: +44 (0)20 8207 5900 Fax: +44 (0)20 8207 7632 [email protected] www.d2w.net Added Value with Symphony’s d 2 w • d 2 w requires only a 1% inclusion rate • d 2 w works with virgin and recycled plastic • d 2 w is compatible with PE, PP and PS • d 2 w does not require any change to the manufacturing process • d 2 w plastic will not just fragment, it will biodegrade • d 2 w plastic is safe for food contact • d 2 w plastic does not lose any of its original properties during its useful life • d 2 w customers receive a full support service from Symphony’s Technical and Marketing teams d 2 w allows the transfer of valuable carbon material to the eco-system Standards The following standards are used for testing d 2 w British Standard 8472 US Standard ASTM D6954 United Arab Emirates Standard 5009:2009 French Accord AFNOR T51-808
