    Oxo-Biodegradable Additive Masterbatches
    Reverte" is wel suited to a wice rane of processes and applications, has extensive food contact approva s and has beenused for many years to provide a reliable and reproducible oxo-biodegradable property to plastics around the world.

    Oxo-biodegradables

    ・Helps reduce the impact of plastic waste on the environment.

    ・Adds value to products and brands.

    ・Small addition (generally 1%) renders standardpolvolefin flms, PET flms and laminatesoxo-biodearadable

    ・No modifcation orinvestmentin machineryrequired for manufacturers.

    ・Cost effective method of enhancing the environmentacredentials ofplastics.

    ・Allows all the performance aspects ofvour polymerblendtobemaintained

    ・Ideal for checkout bags, agricultural flms and fexiblepackaging laminates.

    Reverte Testing,Standards and Certification

    1. Wells Plastics is a founding member of OBPF and active leading in ASTM D20.96, which focuses on plastics thatOxo-Biodearade in the environment Wells Plastics is also the technoloav leader in the revision of ASTM D6954-04so Reverte technology is recoanized and represented at the highest level in the entire plastics environmentaprotection industry.

    2. Reverte has passed ASTM D6954-04 ful set (three items) testing: a.oxidative degradation, b. biodegradation, c. Ecological non-toxicity testing

    All passed:

    ASTM D3826 Standard Practice for Determination of Degradation Endpoints for Degradable Polyethylene and Polypropylene UsingTensile Testing

    ASTM D5208 Standard Practice for Ultraviolet (UV Exposure of Photodearadable Plastics

    ASTM D5338 Aerobic Biodearadation of Plastic Material Under Controled Composting Conditions,Incuding Thermophilic Temperatures

    OECD 207 0ECD Guidelines for Testing Chemicals. Section 2 Test No. 207: Earthworms. Acute Toxicitv Test

    OECD 208 0ECD Guidelines for Testing Chemicals, Section 2 Test No, 208: Terrestrial Plant Tests: Emeroence and Seedling Growth Tests

    3. BS 8472-2011

    BS British Standards published a specihcation in June 2011 containing many of the salient features of ASTM 6954,this specifcationoutlines and uses methods for determining oxidative biodegradability in polymeric substrates, entitled "Plastic andMethods for the assessment of oxo-biodegradation in plants - Toxicity of residues under controlled laboratory conditions". ts assessmentmethod divided into the following iCS (international Standard Classifcation) categories:

    83.080.01 Plastics General:

    • Oxidative degradation (abiotic test)；

    • Biodegradation (biological testing in soil)；

    • Phytotoxicity (plant growth test);

    4. Reverte under US Federal Requlations for Drug and Food Administration (FDA) 21 CFR 177.1520 2.1& ROHS tested, the test indicated that it is safe for direct food contact and can be used in all kinds of food packaging.image.png

    5. In the past we have independently tested Reverte's manufa ctured products accordina to the above complete or partial standards formany customers in the aboratory of Wells Plastics in the United Kingdom. The results are very good, which stronaly proves the mineraization and safety of the products.

    6. SASO OM Ouality Mark

    According to SASO reaulations (Saudi Standards. Metroloay and Ouality Oroanization). whether manufactured in or exported to SaudiArabia, all plastic products specifed in its requlations must be manufactured with approved oxidative biodegradable additives.

    Back in 2017, Welis Plastics was awarded SASO OM for its range of Reverte Oxo- biodearadable additives, enabling it to be used in plasticproducts manufactured in or exported to Saudi Arabia, supporting the normative nature of Reverte products and Wells Plastics' positionas the world's leading supplier of oxidative biodearadation technology.
