How BDP® Technology Works
BDP® is an organic ingredient that is blended into plastic during manufacturing.
At the core of BDP® technology lies a sophisticated process that mimics nature’s own mechanisms.
By infusing organic nutrients and compounds into plastic, the injection moulded products effectively lure naturally occurring microbes into consuming the plastic entirely.
This ingenious ingredient deceives microbes, initiating the plastic’s natural decomposition post-usage, recycling, or disposal.
Following the plastic’s lifecycle, minute bacteria found in landfills, oceans and soil devour it entirely, culminating in the production of compost and biogas.
The compost enriches soil health, fostering sustainable agricultural practices, while the captured biogas can be harnessed as a source of clean energy, contributing to a circular economy model.
Technical Insights into BDP®
In the microscopic realm, BDP® acts as a magnet for microbes, enticing them to colonise the plastic’s surface. Through enzymatic secretion, the plastic undergoes a transformative process, attracting moisture and microbes. A biofilm forms, teeming with microbial activity, facilitating the decomposition of the plastic.
During hydrolysis, polymer chains are broken down into individual monomers, providing sustenance for the microbes. Throughout this process, the microbes attract more of their kind to partake in the consumption of the plastic mass. Ultimately, the majority of by products are consumed, leaving behind predominantly methane which is captured for clean energy production.
Applications and Benefits
BDP® technology seamlessly integrates with various virgin and recycled materials, transforming them into sustainable products with food-grade approval. This versatility not only expands product application possibilities but also ensures compliance with stringent industry standards. BDP®’s low dosage requirements makes it an economically feasible option for injection moulding, aligning with cost-conscious manufacturing objectives.
