Willow Ridge Plastics PDQ-M

Willow Ridge Plastics PDQ-M is a non-toxic additive which does not contain regulated heavy metals. PDQ-M is currently being used in food contact applications worldwide. Using the oxo-biodegradation process, time, ambient heat, and/or UV light, will oxidize the plastic. Oxidation reduces the molecular weight of the plastic and allows for oxygen containing functional groups to form within the polymer. This allows microorganisms to further biodegrade the polymer once it has been disposed of.
