Wholesale PVC Raw Material Plastic Sheet

Just how long does it take for conventional plastics to completely break down? 500 years? 1,000?

Then we have people who make biodegradable PVC and claims that it degrade under landfills. But nothing degrade under landfill.  So when biodegradable plastics break down in an oxygen-free environment, they'll emit methane, a greenhouse gas 23 times more potent than CO2.  

NexPVC®, an oxo- biodegradable plastics do biodegrade in a landfill and not create methane gas. Why? NexPVC® is oxygen based, so even in an oxygen-free environment it is able to proceed the degradation process without emitting methane.

Not all the biodegradable claims are substantiated.  To be considered biodegradable, this decomposition has to be measured by standardized tests, and take place within a specified time period. The American Society of Testing and Materials (ASTM) has created definitions on it.

* The accelerated oven test acc. ASTM D3826 (D5510) shows that NexPVC® will degrade under aerobe landfill conditions in ca. 1, 6 – 2, 4 Years.

* The accelerated QUV test acc. ASTM D5208 shows that the film NexPVC® will degrade under littering conditions in ca. 4, 6 – 6 Month.

NexPVC® does not exceed the demand of the: European Parliament and Council Directive 94/62/EC of 20 December 1994 on packaging and packaging waste According Article 11 Concentration levels of heavy metals present in packaging.
