THE VERDE® ADVANTAGE

Technology

Polyethylene provides converters with a durable, biobased polyolefin with multiple end-of-life solutions. It can be recycled in existing curbside recycling systems, and will biodegrade if the product is sent to a landfill environment.

TALK TO A SPECIALIST

Biobased polyolefin

Produced from plant-based feedstocks industrially grown to not impact food supply.

Thermally stable

PolyEarthylene™ is designed to be thermally stable and durable, so it will not experience any significant change until disposal in an active landfill environment.

Durable

PolyEarthylene™ maintains a balance of strength and mechanical properties on par with petroleum-based counterparts.

Customizable

The biobased content can differ depending on customer needs and the specific grade of PolyEarthylene™.

Tested

Verde® utilizes third party labs according the ASTM and regulatory standards.

Durable & reusable

A balance of strength and mechanical properties that are consistent with its petroleum-based counterparts.

Plant based

PolyEarthylene™ is manufactured utilizing renewable plant-based feedstocks in conjunction with proprietary manufacturing and biodegradation technology.

Carbon impact

PolyEarthylene™ resins can help customers achieve carbon neutrality and move toward a circular economy.

Verde Bioresins' factory

Verde’s state-of-the art research and development laboratories

and its manufacturing facility are located in Southern California.

Landfill biodegradable

Designed to decompose due to the naturally occurring microorganisms present in landfill environments.

Reduces microplastic pollution

Unlike oxo-degradable plastics, which can leave behind micro-plastic particles, PolyEarthylene™ offers an environmentally friendly approach by minimizing such microplastic during degradation.

Biodegradation in 1 to 5 years

Depending on the specific grade and its intended application, PolyEarthylene™ products have biodegradation timelines ranging from 1 to 5 years.

The biodegradation process

PolyEarthylene™ utilizes a natural biodegradation process, where the entire polymer component is digested and metabolized by microbial consumption, ultimately reducing into biomass, carbon dioxide, methane and water.

Tested

Verde® utilizing accredited third party labs to validate biodegradation.

Recyclable

PolyEarthylene™ is designed to be compatible with existing recycling systems, making it a convenient and sustainable option for consumers and businesses. 

Curbside recyclable

Most PolyEarthylene™ grades can be recycled in curbside programs, usually under codes 2, 4, and 5.

Industrial recyclable

Most PolyEarthylene™ grades can be industrially recycled, minimizing scrap waste and increasing yields.
