Plastics are changing. Customers aren't satisfied with the current state of plastics. Plastic pollution is a growing problem so several companies have come forth with new versions of bio-plastics and modified PET plastic. One of those companies that feel it can make an impact on bottle pollution is ENSO Bottles, LLC. ENSO has partnered with Bio-Tec, LLC., to introduce the world's first truly biodegradable bottle. The ENSO Bottle with EcoPure is designed to biodegrade in a microbial environment leaving behind biogases and humus. ENSO feels they aren't the final answer to the plastic bottle pollution problem but their bottle will have a significant impact in reducing the problem. 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. However, ENSO Bottles with EcoPure are biodegradable plastic bottles that use organic compounds to promote biodegradation though microbial digestion. That digestion (biodegradation) only occurs when the ENSO bottle is placed in a highly active microbial environment. ENSO bottles with EcoPure™ have been tested and validated for the following: (1) Recyclability through a third-party lab for ASTM D 1003 (Haze and Transmission). (2) ASTM D 4603 (Intrinsic Viscosity) (3) ASTM F 2013 (Acetaldehyde), Fluorescence Visual, and Visual Black Specks and Gels. (4) 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.
