Planet Green Bottle - OXO Biodegradable

SAVE THE PLANET; One Bottle at a Time:

DID YOU KNOW?:

That in 1996, 40% of all plastic PET bottles were recycled. PET bottles recycled dropped as a percentage to 23% by 2006. A wrong way trend for 10 years.

That there is a dead zone, an oceanic desert, in the middle of the Pacific Ocean called by marine scientist, Captain Charles Moore of the Agalita Marine Research Foundation (www.algalita.com): Plastic Soup. Plastic Soup is slow moving gyre, 10 million miles square, almost twice the size of the USA and bigger than Africa. It is a deep, churning cesspool of plastic bits ingested daily by marine life and maybe by us when we eat fish. Over time these plastic particles which Captain Moore calls “plastic poison pills” change the hormonal balance of marine life and wipe out species. Fifty years of plastics have washed through our rivers and ended up in the Pacific Plastic Soup or in a similar cesspool in the Atlantic Ocean.

That Captain Moore measured 6 pounds of plastic for every 1 pound of plankton, in 30 years he projects 60 pounds of plastic particles for every pound of plankton. Plankton is necessary to sustain sea life and maybe its absence will even effect our beloved sashimi.

That Planet Green Bottle Corp has an additive that causes PET plastic bottles to biodegrade on an accelerated basis when exposed to oxygen and UV light. Our additive does not interfere with recycling programs since it is compatible to oil-based PET plastic, and if our oxo-biodegradable plastic bottle ends up in a landfill or a river as 75% do it will biodegrade over time decomposed to CO 2 and water.

That approximately 80% of the world’s market for water in plastic PET bottles is processed by 3 giant bottlers. The Big 3 are committed to recycling which is a good thing but their recycling programs are obviously not working. The Big 3 however are doing nothing to mitigate the ever growing effects of the Great Pacific Plastic Soup churning full of non-biodegradable plastic. That oceanic plastic cesspool will kill our marine life and put future human populations at risk if unchecked.

THE POINT IS: Only by the millenium, 3,000 to 3,999 will our oceans have even a chance to cleanse themselves to acceptable levels of plastic particles in the sea. If we care about the shape of the planet that we leave behind, we must start NOW in order to allow future generations to live unpolluted by poison plastic intake.

At the Planet Green Bottle Corporation we are going to do our part by accelerating the biodegradation of PET plastic bottles to hasten their demise as CO 2 and water. That’s what we plan to do. Every single plastic bottle counts!
