Biodegradable d2w® packaging

Sustainable-packaging is developed with the purpose of reducing waste and the environmental footprint in the life cycle of packaging. We have become increasingly aware of the negative impacts that excessive waste can have on our planet. In fact, nowadays, consumers aften assess a brand’s commitment to sustainability by looking at the type of packaging that they use. 

Biodegradable d2w® Packaging is one of the sustainable options Capsule offers, together with our partners, we know we can make a difference.

Biodegradable d2w® Packaging

''A material which can be bio-assimilated by bacteria and fungi on land or sea'' 

Biodegradable d2w® technology accelerates the natural process of oxidation until the product is no longer a plastic, a material which can be bio-assimilated (i.e. used as a food source) by bacteria and fungi on land or sea. If it ends up as litter in the environment, it will degrade and biodegrade until there is nothing left. 

Stages of oxo-biodegradation with d2w® technology:

• d2w® masterbatch is added at the manufacturing stage.

• Film containing d2w® is extruded and then converted into bags or packaging.

• The product behaves like conventional plastic during its intended service life.

• After its service life, the bag or packaging may end up in the open environment.

• The d2w® then takes effect and the product begins to degrade in the presence of oxygen.

• The product will degrade and biodegrade in a continuous, irreversible and unstoppable process leaving nothing more than carbon dioxide, water and biomass.
