BIODEGRADABLE PLASTIC: 

HOW DOES IT WORK?

Maverick Enterprises "Green Film™ " is formulated to biodegrade in months when discarded in a landfill, in a compost, or a natural body of water.  Normal plastic will take about 400 years to degrade. Polystyrene can last for 1000's of years. Maverick "Green Film™ " can degrade in 9 months to five years. Our product, Maverick "Green Film™ ", is designed to interact with the microorganisms present in landfills and almost everywhere else on the planet. These microorganisms metabolize the molecular structure of the plastic, breaking it down into humus. This biodegradation process is done both aerobically (with oxygen) and anaerobically (without oxygen).   Most importantly, tests have shown Maverick "Green Film™ ", after degrading completely, does not produce any toxic residue harmful to living organisms in land and water. ( EPA 6010 metals analysis and EPA 8260 soil matrix) It meets the ASTM 5511-94 protocol for anaerobic biodegradation which is how  landfills break down the items placed in it.

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!
