BIODEGRADABLE PLASTIC: 

HOW DOES IT WORK?

Maverick Enterprises "Green Film™ " is formulated to biodegrade in a landfill, in a compost, or a natural body of water.  Normal plastic will take about 400 years to degrade.  Maverick "Green Film™ " can degrade in 5 to 10 years depending on the thickness of the film. Our product, Maverick "Green Film™ ", is designed to interact with the microorganisms present in landfills and almost everywhere else on the planet breaking it down. This biodegradation process is done anaerobically (without oxygen) creating methane. Methane is then harvested in 75% of all landfills in the US and converted into energy, such as electricity.

This technology  for Maverick "Green Film™ " is based on adding proprietary pellets into normal plastic during production. The finished biodegradable product will have the same characteristics as the non-biodegradable plastic. It will have the same strength, color, properties, and shelf-life. They are only improved with the ability to biodegrade. If you were to put a sample of Maverick "Green Film™ " beside a nondegradable plastic, you would not be able to tell them apart!
