Our Technology

 

At Radical Plastics, we’ve developed a patented technology that involves blending conventional plastics with our proprietary, naturally occurring catalyst.  When properly compounded, this catalyst has the ability to render regular plastics biodegradable in the natural environment.

​

Items made from the Radical Plastics compound perform just like regular plastics. But if they end up in the environment, the free radical catalyst converts the plastic into a material that microbes recognize as food. This allows them to metabolize the material turning it into biomass, CO2 and water.  Radical Plastics compounds biodegrade fully in the environment leaving no residue, no toxic substances and no microplastics.
