The present invention relates to plastic composition comprising at least one polyester, biological entities having a polyester-degrading activity and at least an anti-acid filler, wherein the biological entities represent less than 11% by weight, based on the total weight of the plastic composition, and uses thereof for manufacturing biodegradable plastic articles.

A biodecomposable film material includes: a biodecomposable material which is one or more selected from the group consisting of polylactic acid, poly(butylene adipate-co-terephthalate) and poly butylene succinate and which has a mass percentage of 60-70%; a food grade agricultural waste having a diameter smaller than 50 m and a mass percentage of 10-30%; a modifier which is calcium carbonate powder or magnesium silicate salt powder and which has a diameter smaller than 8 m and a mass percentage of 7-29%; and an organic decomposing bacterium which is Bacillus amyloliquefaciens. The organic decomposing bacterium is heat resistant bacillus capable of withstanding a temperature of 100 C. and has a mass percentage of 1-3%. The biodecomposable material, the food grade agricultural waste, the modifier, and the organic decomposing bacterium are subjected to compounding and blowing to form a film having a thickness of 40-60 m.

The present invention relates to a stopper made entirely or at least in part of plastic material, wherein the plastic material is a thermoplastic elastomeric polymer and includes a dispersion of activated carbon particles. The present invention also relates to a method to manufacture a stopper for a container by means of injection molding comprising: heating granules or pellets of plastic material until the granules or pellets become soft and flexible; adding activated carbon particles to the soft and flexible granules or pellets of plastic material; injecting the softened plastic into a mold, thereby obtaining a desired shape for the stopper; leaving the plastic material to cool until hardening; and opening the mold and removing the stopper.

The present invention relates to an injection moulded biodegradable component comprising: a) 60 to 99 wt % of a biodegradable film-grade bioplastic; and b) 0 to 40 wt % of filler comprising a biodegradable polymer and a non-toxic 5 mineral; and methods for producing said component.

The present invention relates to a degradable synthetic fiber composition, a manufacturing method thereof, and a degradable synthetic fiber product manufactured therefrom; wherein the degradable synthetic fiber composition comprises a polymer and two or more transition metal salts dispersed in the polymer; at least one of the two or more transition metal salts is a polyvalent metal salt. The present invention may degrade polymer such as polyester, polyamide, and polystyrene, two or more transition metal additives are selected to produce a synergistic effect, thereby directly improving the utilization of ultraviolet light and visible light; the present invention is the first application of oxidative-biodegradation to synthetic fiber, and can be commercially produced by existing equipment; the formulations and methods of the present invention particularly can be applied directly in weaving techniques such as nonwovens, to further reduce the environmental pollution caused by waste.

A plastic film is produced by blending a polymer with particles encapsulating an oxidizing agent, such as hydrogen peroxide. Optionally, an oxodegradable and/or oxo biodegradable additive that promotes degradation of the polymer in the presence of oxygen may be blended into the plastic film. The presence of the oxidizing agent within the plastic film ensures degradation of an article of manufacture, e.g., a plastic bag, when it is disposed of in an anaerobic environment, such as a landfill. In some embodiments, the particles are microcapsules and/or nanocapsules each having a polymer shell encapsulating a core that includes the oxidizing agent. In some embodiments, the particles are microparticles and/or nanoparticles each having a matrix in which the oxidizing agent is encapsulated.
