ENSO Bottles is announcing the offering of PET plastic beverage bottles that will biodegrade in either anerobic or aerobic conditions. Additionally their bottles which are a modified PET plastic can be recycled along with regular PET (1) bottles. It's a small step but something needs to be done....and quick. We need to do something that will reduce the impact of billions of bottles entering landfills.
The problem is that waste in most landfills isn't breaking down once it loses it's moisture and air supply. ENSO bottles will continue to break down, even under garbage dump conditions.
The ideal situation would be for more commercial composting sites, better recycling programs and better consumer education. http://www.ensobottles.com

Would love to hear how regular people are participating in going green. I'm recycling. What else is there?
ReplyDeleteI think if we look at the entire problem it is a bit overwhelming. If you just try to one little thing....it will help. Here's one.....buy a grocery bag, preferably one made of recycled materials and use it when you go to the store....no more "plastic or paper!"
ReplyDeleteThat is an awesome idea! And as a bonus, most stores will offer you credit if you use your own bags.
ReplyDeleteThose wishing to learn more about oxo-biodegradable plastic products should visit our website at http://biogreenproducts.biz . We have posted a huge amount of information about oxo-biodegradable plastics, and supply many oxo-biodegradable plastic disposable products - wholesale only, I'm afraid. We supply garbage bags, t-shirt bags, water bottle preforms, deli containers and lids, produce bags, straws, and cutlery with zip-lock bags on the way. Oxo-biodegradable plastics are recycleable with conventional plastics. An oxo-biodegradable PET bottle gets recycled with conventional recycled PET bottles (a typical water bottle is a PET bottle,) as a '1' recycle category. -Tim Dunn
