Biodegradable Plastic Additives...
We are a large private label beverage bottler, and have been studying this flurry of offerings that are now out there representing to be able to make plastic (or in our case PET) "biodegradable". The deeper we dig, the more misleading and confusing it becomes, and we are concerned about the science (or lack of it), liability, safety, and regulatory backdrop (FTC, California, etc). I'm not just referring to oxo-degradables here, but other technologies that do not require light/air that claim to work anaerobically, and even one that claims to make conventional resin become compostable.
