Product Overview
EcoLogic offers Eco-One® and the Eco-One® solution to help solve your companies' environmental concerns around plastic use.
Product Benefits
- Eco-One® is 100% organic and non-starch based
- Eco-One® does not impact the recycling stream
- Eco-One® is food contact compliant and is free of BPA, phthalates, metals, and toxic materials
- Eco-One® will meet all regulatory and safety requirements needed
- Eco-One® allows plastics to be utilized as a renewable energy source during the useful life of a landfill
- Products made with Eco-One® have been scientifically analyzed by 3rd party independent labs
Processing / Final Product Characteristics
Incorporating Eco-One® is as easy as it is to add color concentrate during the plastic production process
Eco-One® is easy to use and will run under existing processing conditions. Except for the simple step of adding in Eco-One®, the addition of this organic additive does not change the manufacturing process... just add approximately 1% Eco-One® into your production process (the same way you would add a color concentrate). If you utilize a manufacturing partner for your products, we are happy to work with them during the implementation process.
- Products with Eco-One® will maintain the same physical properties and tensile strength as those manufactured without the additive
- Eco-One® will not impact the performance or shelf-life of the product
- Eco-One® will enhance the biodegradation only once the plastic is disposed of into a biologically-active landfill environment
- Eco-One® is available in pellet, powder, or liquid form based on your processing requirements
Energy Source Solution
Modern landfills are required to collect the methane produced from the breakdown of materials within the landfill. A majority of landfills are engineered to safely and efficiently collect methane and utilize it in several valuable ways:
Eco-One® allows discarded plastics in landfills to contribute to renewable energy production from landfill gas
- Electricity Generation - to power homes, businesses, and the landfill itself
- Vehicle Fuel - to fuel trucks, public transportation, and equipment
- Heat and Boilers - used directly in industrial furnaces and kilns
- Pipeline Injection Natural Gas - injected into utility pipelines
Plastics with Eco-One® will allow a traditional polymer to biodegrade within the useful life a landfill to collect and convert the methane produced as an energy source while also reducing the persistence of plastic by sheer volume within the landfill!
Key Environmental Benefits
- Overall reduction in plastics persistence in landfills
- Capture of methane and reduction in landfill space taken up by plastic
- Creation of a renewable and practical energy source from plastic waste
- More sustainable approach to plastic disposal
- Supports a circular economy
- Supports sustainability and circular sustainability goals
