EcoSafe 6400, EcoBio and EcoDegradable Plastic Product Description

There are several different types of biodegradable and compostable plastics that are made specifically for different purposes. Depending on planned use and intended disposal (landfill or compost) they are all better environmental options to ordinary plastics that can persist in the environment for decades.

Plastics Solutions offer three materials. Each is engineered to serve different purposes and all three degrade and biodegrade at different rates. They are environmentally safe and contain no heavy metals. Except for time frame, the biological processes are the same, returning the “organic carbon” in the materials back to the natural bio-cycle as a food source for microorganisms.

Plastics Solution's products include:

EcoSafe~6400™ Compostable Plastic Trash Bags
Compostable trash bags are specifically engineered to quickly degrade in 10 to 45 days and fully biodegrade in less than 6 months when disposed of in a commercial compost facility. All EcoSafe~6400 Compostable bags meet the requirements of ASTMD6400-04 and carry the United States Composting Council/Biodegradable Products Institute certification logo.

EcoBio Oxo-Biodegradable™ Plastic -
EcoSafe® Doggie Bags and other compost compatible bags are produced with premium materials that will degrade/biodegrade in landfill disposal, in some longer term commercial compost operations or if carelessly littered. Depending on available oxygen and microbial activity of the disposal site, the materials will quickly degrade within 3 to 4 months and fully biodegrade in approximately 24 months.

EcoDegradable™ Plastic Trash Bags
Are robust degradable trash bags that provide the same performance as ordinary plastic bags but totally degrade when disposed of in a landfill or if carelessly littered. Depending on available oxygen and microbial activity of the disposal site, the materials will degrade in 18 to 24 months and biodegrade in approximately 36 months.


Plastics Solutions Inc. is committed to using the best technologies for degradable, biodegradable and compostable plastics and will always offer consumers and commercial users the best value for performance in the marketplace.

EcoBio® Oxo-Biodegradable Organic Waste Collection Bags provide the performance of “ordinary” plastic in use while the proprietary additives accelerate the natural oxidative process of ordinary plastic by factors of 100, 1000 and more, causing EcoBio® plastics to totally degrade and biodegrade in highly predictable and controllable timeframes.

EcoBio® Oxo-Biodegradable Organic Waste Collection Bags and Bin Liners are engineered to provide the service and performance of ordinary plastic but will totally fragment and disintegrate in 90 to 120 days and 60% mineralize / biodegrade in a further 12 to 24 months when disposed of in a longer term commercial compost facility and in subsequent soil application.

EcoDegradable® and EcoBio® products have undergone full-scale landfill and commercial compost trials. In landfill trials, at ambient temperatures of 20°C to 35°C, EcoDegradable® modified plastic lost more than 95% of its molecular weight (Mw) in less than 10 months.

The EcoDegradable®and EcoBio® message is clear and proven. EcoDegradable® degradable products provide the performance of "ordinary" plastic in use. When modified with a proprietary additive, the natural oxidative process of ordinary plastic is accelerated by factors of 100, 1000 and more. This causes the modified plastic to totally degrade and fragment in highly predictable and controllable timeframes.

EcoDegradable® and EcoBio® Oxo-biodegradable products establish “controllable lifecycles” for commodity polyolefin products so that once used, they are safely returned to the natural bio-cycle as fragments of “organic carbon”. Carbon that can be colonized, ingested and mineralized by microorganisms in a natural biological process freeing up air space in landfills and helping to mitigate the problem of "accumulating" plastic litter in our environment and watersheds.

Our EcoDegradable® Garbage Bags have the same powerful benefits as the compost, linen and doggie bags marketed by PSCI.

EcoDegradable® Garbage Bags and Liners are engineered to provide the service and performance of ordinary plastic but will totally fragment and disintegrate in 12 to 24 months when disposed of in a landfill.

The EcoBio® Oxo-Biodegradable Doggie Bag is a biodegradable plastic bag that the pet owner can use to pick up his or her pet’s waste. He or she can then deposit it in the trash or in an appropriate receptacle, so it can be easily and safely transferred to the local landfill. There, the plastic of the bag will totally degrade into CO2, water and humic matter. The Doggie Bag is made of the same EcoBio® proprietary materials as are the organic waste collection, garbage and linen bags. (For a summary of the pertinent benefits of this material, please see the list under the organic waste collection Bags section).

The EcoBio® Oxo-Biodegradable Doggie Bag totally degrades when disposed of in a landfill. We use an ASTM D6954 Oxo-biodegradable technology. This is a major, proprietary difference. The selling price is directly affected too. Our doggie bags are competitively priced compared to other so-called biodegradable products. You’ll be delighted at our difference.

This EcoBio® Oxo-Biodegradable Doggie Bag is an environmentally-responsible product at its very best. If you own a pet, it’s simply the environmentally responsible thing to do.
