(PlastEurope) -- Less than two
years after it was first founded, US organic additive producer EcoLogic
(Oakbrook Terrace, Illinois) is continuing to make strides in marketing its
“Eco-One” biodegradation-enhancing additive. After just having its use approved
for food-contact applications in Brazil, the US group now has reached an
agreement with Argentine flexible packaging manufacturer La Primera de Cuyo
(Mendoza), whereby the latter will start using “Eco-One” for a new line of
polyethylene bags.
Thanks to the addition of Eco-One, the plastic bags will biodegrade in
biologically active landfills, breaking the plastic down into soil and natural
gases. EcoLogic points out that the additive does not impact the bag’s normal
product performance or its physical properties.
Welcoming the agreement, which comes on the heels of a distribution deal
in Mexico, EcoLogic’s sales and marketing director Sachin Shah said it “marks
another strategic advancement for EcoLogic in growing our presence throughout
the world to help promote responsible solutions to plastic waste.”
