An earth plant-based compostable biodegradable composition for the formation of a bioplastic and method of producing said resin, the composition comprising: about 17.5 to 45% ethanol-based green polyethylene by weight, about 20 to 25% calcium carbonate by weight, about 2 to 12% hemp hurd or soy protein by weight, about 32 to 45% starch by weight, and about 0.5 to 1% biodegradation additive by weight to enable biodegradation and composting of the bioplastic; wherein the composition is produced by first mill grinding the ethanol-based green polyethylene, calcium carbonate, hemp hurd or soy protein, starch and the biodegradation additive into fine powders, then mechanically mixing the fine powders one by one into a final mixture for about 5-25 minutes at a time, dry and without heat, and then heating the final mixture to about 220 to 430 degrees Fahrenheit.

A process forming a high MFR polypropylene includes providing a reactor powder polypropylene, the reactor powder polypropylene having a melt flow rate of less than 100 dg/min. The process also includes mixing the reactor powder polypropylene with a free-radical initiator to form a powder/initiator mixture and subjecting the powder/initiator mixture to post-reactor forming. The present disclosure further provides for a vis-broken polypropylene and a polymer article.

Biodegradable polyester article comprising enzymes. The present invention relates to novel biodegradable plastic articles comprising a polyester and biological entities able to degrade such polyester, and wherein the biological entities are homogeneously dispersed in the plastic articles. The invention also relates to a process for producing such plastic articles, comprising a step of mixing biological entities with a selected carrier in a liquid composition or in a masterbatch with the polyester.

A process for enhancing biodegradability of polyolefinic materials is provided. The process includes providing a polyolefinic material, mixing the polyolefinic material with at least one fatty reagent, heating up the polyolefinic material mixed with the at least one fatty reagent to the melting temperature of the polyolefinic material to obtain a melted material, letting the melted material cool at room temperature for a time sufficient to obtain a solidified product, and incubating the solidified product with at least one fungal mycelium selected from fungal strains secreting Unspecific Peroxygenases (UPO), in presence of a fungal culture medium.

A thermoformable and biodegradable cellulose acetate composition comprising at least one cellulose acetate and either polyethylene glycol or m ethoxy polyethylene glycol are disclosed. The compositions are formed into films, sheets, and articles.

A packaging material and a process of making this material are provided. The material contains an organic additive that promotes oxidative degradation and the subsequent bio-degradation of polyolefin polymers. This material and process are believed to be superior to existing materials and processes in terms of enhancing plastic degradation. The packaging material is formed from a composition that includes calcium carbonate (CaCO.sub.3), a polymer and casein and/or caseinate.

The present invention relates to a masterbatch composition comprising high concentration of biological entities having a polymer-degrading activity and uses thereof for manufacturing biodegradable plastic articles.
