Novel catalysis for self-degradable polyolefins

This technology introduces a new catalytic approach for controlled self-degradation of conventional PE and PP, without altering their manufacturing processes or performance during use. Key Advantages: • Drop-in solution – no changes to existing PE/PP production lines • Universal applicability across films, fibers, and molded products • Controlled degradation timing – stable for years, rapid once initiated • No microplastics or toxic residues • Cost-effective and significantly cheaper than bio-based alternatives • Scalable and validated with industrial-grade film production. • The PP or PE with a catalyst is compatible with skin-contact and food-grade regulations.
