NBC LLC is a strategic partner of Biosphere LLC and offers an advanced Enzymatic Enhancing additive that is a proven Recyclable and Biodegradable technology. These additives enhance the biodegradability of plastics while maintaining their ability to be recycled in standard recycling streams.
USP
NBC LLC, Is the only technology that adds a safety net for when products escape the recycling system, or become contaminated and end up as landfill waste or litter.
NBC LLC also works on multilayer films (BOPET/BOPP) and complex plastics that cannot be recycled.
Our ability to render plastic biodegradable in anaerobic and aerobic environments with a single treatment is unprecedented. And does not require special industrial composting facilities.
With the successful treatment of SYNTHETIC YARNS, NBC LLC has the ability to eliminate microfiber and micro plastic pollution shed from textiles.
We can literally make all plastics safely biodegradable. While still ensuring the products are 100% RECYCLABLE, 100% REUSABLE with no affect to the shelf life or tensile properties of the product.
This technology has been tried, independently tested and proven to work by ASTM and ISO accredited labs around the world.
THE PROBLEM
Only 9% of all plastic waste ever produced has been recycled. About 12% has been incinerated, while the rest — 79% — has accumulated in landfills, dumps or the natural environment.
“Companies need to implement safety nets and cannot rely on recycling”
THE SOLUTION
NBC LLC Enzymatic enhancing technology. Is an economical, organic additive that attracts microorganisms to polymer products. These organism attached themselves to the surface of the plastic and secrete enzymes which break down large polymers into monomers and oligomers. (Depolymerization and mineralization) This massively accelerates the natural biodegradation process of plastics and rubbers. This happens in microbial rich environments like landfills, marine and soil environments. Yet maintains the shelf life and ensures the plastics are still 100% recyclable. Our treated products are not “bio-plastics” but still normal reusable polymer products.
WHY USE ENHANCED ENZYMATIC TECHNOLOGY?
- NBC products are 100% recyclable in standard recycling streams. And is perfect for reusable products.
- NBC products do not affect the shelf life of the product.
- No tooling or machinery changes required.
- NBC products are EFSA, FDA and CFR compliant for food-grade products.
- NBC Additives are Non Hazardous, RoHS, REACH and Prop 65 approved, and carry no heavy metals.
- NBC additives are not a PLA, PBAT, Starch or OXO product and we DO NOT create Nano or Micro plastics.
- NBC additives accelerate biodegradation in Anaerobic and Aerobic environments.
- Independently ASTM and ISO Tested proving the product works.
- The additives are introduced just like a masterbatch.
- The tensile strength and characteristic of the product is not affected.
- NBC products are comparatively a fraction of the cost of PLA or starch alternatives.
- There are No R&D Cost. NBC has done that for you.
