CVC uses plastic shopping bag made with EPI's degradable and biodegradable products

    EPI
    Environmental Technologies Inc. (“EPI”) develops, manufactures, distributes and sells degradable and biodegradable chemical additives to manufacturers of finished plastic products in the packaging, agricultural and composting industries, among others. The principal chemical additives sold by EPI are proprietary oxo-biodegradable plastic additives, Totally Degradable Plastic Additives™ (“TDPA™”).
     TDPA™ is added in typically small quantities of 2 to 3% to commodity resins (polyethylene, polypropylene and polystyrene) during the manufacture of finished plastic products, using standard manufacturing equipment and processes. It causes the plastic to degrade at a controlled rate when the plastic is exposed to photo (sunlight), thermal (heat) and/or mechanical stress and, in the case of polyethylene products (such as grocery, shopping and garbage bags), TDPA™ causes the plastic to ultimately biodegrade.
