ENSO Bottles with EcoPure are biodegradable plastic bottles through the utilization of organic compounds which promote biodegradation though microbial digestion only when the biodegradable bottles are placed in a active microbial environment. ENSO bottles have the same physical properties as standard PET and do NOT fragment, degrade or break down from environmental conditions such as UV, moisture and oxygen. When ENSO bottles are recycled they have the same useful life as other durable plastics, said Danny Clark, president of ENSO Bottles.
Additionally, ENSO Bottles has worked with independent recycling companies validating that ENSO Bottles have no bad effects on the recycling stream. ENSO Bottles believes an significant aspect of solving the plastic pollution problem is recycling. ENSO Bottles is a member of several recycling organizations, standards boards and environmental organizations supporting recycling solutions for a better environment.
ENSO bottles have also been examined and validated through an recognized third-party laboratory using ASTM D 5511 Standard Test Methods, a standard for biodegradation testing in anaerobic environments. Results clearly indicate ENSO bottles with EcoPure biodegrade through natural microbial digestion.
ENSO Bottles, LLC and Bio-Tec Environmental, LLC are both environmental companies dedicated to responsibly addressing the growing plastic pollution problem through the development of biodegradable plastics. Technological advances of biodegradable plastics and understanding of why microbes eat plastic should be considered a phenomenon and good for the environment, not rejected by groups with little to no understanding of microbiology, said Samuel Adams, senior vice president of Bio-Tec Environmental.
The plastic pollution problem is vast. In 2007 nearly 4.3 billion pounds of PET containers were not recycled. These bottles end up in landfills or as litter contributes to the amount of plastic pollution in our oceans. Del Andrus, vice president of Environmental and Technology Group, said, Organizations who make unsubstantiated claims that there is no data proving plastic biodegradation and recycling compatibility are only inhibiting environmentally sound solutions and contributing to the confusion and the growing pollution problem.
ENSO Bottles and Bio-Tec Environmental believe a responsible approach to enhance our environment is to address both recyclability and the development of environmentally friendly plastics. Working together will generate better solutions and offer a more positive approach toward improving the environment for us and future generations.
