Biodegradable Plastic: Solution to a Major Environmental Threat

Planet green bottle corporation’s first annual oxo-biodegradable pet plastic bottle symposium attracts industry’s major manufacturers of pet bottles and the largest beverage bottlers as well as significant green fund investor groups

Planet Green Bottle Corporation was overwhelmed by the success of its First Annual PET Plastic Bottle Symposium. In all, more than 40 Industry leaders from the PET and bottle manufacturing, branded owners and manufacturers of bottled water, carbonated soft drinks, wine and spirits, pharmaceutical, health, home and beauty industry, newspapers and magazine editors, portfolio managers of Green Investment Funds and other strategic investors attended the two-day event.

Andrew Barclay, Director of Research and Technology for Wells Plastics Ltd. (UK) stated, "We were very impressed with the high level of interest in the subject of the oxo-biodegrading of PET plastic bottles. We had an opportunity to explain to industry leaders and certain sophisticated investors why, how, and over what time period our Reverte™ additive works to fully oxo-biodegrade a PET plastic bottle."

"We use only one and a half per cent additive by weight to each bin of PET plastic feedstock in order to manufacture a PET plastic bottle with a programmed shelf life of two years before oxo-biodegradation starts. The photo-initiation period of the oxo-biodegradation of the PET plastic bottle commences with exposure to direct sunlight coupled with heat and oxygen exposure."

"I was surprised at the number of questions concerning the potential competitive environment," stated Patrick Rooney, Director of Corporate Development for Planet Green Bottle.

Rooney goes on to state that Reverte addresses two issues. One is that it is defensible and secondly it is backed up with science that withstands the scrutiny of industry professionals. What became apparent is the amount of misleading and untrue information that is being distributed by pretenders to the oxo-biodegradable technology. However, legitimate competition is healthy as it keeps our entire staff on the leading edge of the emerging oxo-biodegradable technologies.

"Our Symposium exceeded our expectations. Almost all parties in attendance signed up to pursue a customer relationship, strategic alliance or a private investment in the Planet Green Bottle Corporation. Never before have we witnessed an almost 100 per cent interest level in becoming involved in any project."

There are 200 billion PET plastic bottles blown per year. Almost 150 billion go into landfill, ditches, rivers or oceans. Only roughly 50 billion are recycled. Planet Green strongly believe in recycling and bottles containing the Reverte additive are recycling compatible. However one must be realistic in that three out of four bottles miss being recycled. The oxo-biodegradable Reverte additive is an insurance policy that allows us to be reasonably assured that we will cause a PET plastic bottle to convert itself into harmless moisture and CO2 if it should fall into the group of three out of four bottles that miss being recycled.

"Our accredited investor group believes that they are witnessing and now participating in a paradigm shift that will see consumers demanding to buy a PET plastic bottle displaying the Reverte™ logo which denotes that this bottle is oxo-biodegradable and therefore eco-friendly."

Planet Green Bottle is dedicated to help save the planet one plastic bottle at a time. Planet Green is introducing its oxo-biodegradable bottle to brand owners and private labellers of beverages and consumables globally. Planet Green is affixing its logo of which incorporates the trademark Reverte ™ of its strategic partner, Wells Plastics (UK), to all PET plastic bottles in order to guide the consumer to the purchase of only eco-responsible, oxo-biodegradable plastic bottles.
