Overview

The accumulation of plastic waste in the environment threatens ecosystems and public health, as traditional plastics resist degradation. This innovative material offers a sustainable alternative by significantly accelerating the breakdown of packaging, even in challenging low-oxygen conditions.

The Opportunity

OSU researchers have developed an advanced biodegradable material which accelerates the decomposition of plastics-without sacrificing strength or utility-helping manufacturers and brands meet urgent sustainability goals. This innovative biodegradable packaging material dramatically increases the speed and completeness of plastic breakdown, even in environments with limited oxygen and light. By integrating seamlessly into current manufacturing processes and working with a wide range of polymers, this solution offers a practical pathway to reducing long-term plastic pollution.

Key Advantages

• Rapid Degradation: Breaks down significantly faster than conventional plastics in landfill and water environments.
• Seamless Integration: Easily incorporated into existing polymer manufacturing processes with minimal modifications.
• Versatile Applications: Adaptable to a wide range of products, including food packaging, agricultural films, and single-use consumer goods.
• Cost-Effective: Utilizes readily available components, supporting scalable and economical production.
• Supports Sustainability: Reduces long-term pollution and aligns with global environmental initiatives.
