LONDON — February 25, 2021 — Polymateria, who in 2020 became the first company to evidence full biodegradation of plastic in the open environment*, has today open-sourced data showing that its Biotransformation technology is recyclable as well as biodegradable.
Heralding a step forward in the shift to a more circular economy, polyethylene filmcontaining Polymateria’s Biotransformation technology has been shown to meet accepted industry protocol for recyclability through independent testing.
Polymateria’s technology demonstrates that the vision of a truly circular economy is possible. An economy where materials are reused or recycled as a matter of priority while allowing any items escaping the system to return to nature without causing any harm. By uniquely time-controlling when biodegradation will start, Polymateria’s technology allows time for recycling to take place before biodegradation is triggered.
