LANDFILL BIODEGRADATION
PEL'S STAGES OF USE TO END-OF-LIFE
01
Standard Use
•
•
PolyEarthylene™
manufactured and sold to
customer.
Resin retains standard
polyolefin properties, no
change in performance
following conversion into
product and regular use.
PEL is shelf-stable and will
not degrade during normal
use or on the shelf.
02
Disposal
•
User disposes product.
If product is not recycled,
then natural microbial
attachment at surface
begins in landfill, industrial
composting facility or by
the side of the road.
Bacteria create hydrophilic
surface using protein
attachment.
03
Bacteria Formation
Bacteria coat and colonize
surface in continuous film.
Bacteria implement
peroxidase and other
enzymes to break polyolefin
bonds at surface.
04
Bacteria Proliferation
Through chain scission and
oxidation polyolefin chains
are shortened.
•
Material softens and
becomes waxy but does not
disintegrate.
•
Molecular weight is reduced.
05
End of Life
•
Plastic hydrocarbons are
transformed to CO2, water,
methane and biomass.
•
•
Inorganic component
becomes part of the soil.
No microplastics generated
during process due to a
complete breakdown of
PEL.
