GREEN HAS NEVER BEEN EASIER
Introducing Transitions ,the first biodegradable plastic cutlery that biodegrades very quickly in an active and enclosed landfill. Our product transitions to earth at the end of it's life. No “end of life” management required. Because, over 90% of all plastic cutlery ends up in the garbage and ultimately a landfill.... Transitions biodegradable cutlery is a long term solution for the millions of pieces of single use cutlery used everyday, that are not routed to a industrial composting facility. (There are less than 135 certified industrial composting facilities in the United States).
Transitions SuperDegradable brand cutlery looks, feels and performs just like high quality plastic cutlery including resistance to heat. Forget everything you know about biodegradable cutlery and move over to Transitions .... the intelligent choice for single use biodegradable cutlery.
OUR COMMITMENT
RTG Custom Supply continues its commitment to responsible innovation by developing the next generation biodegradable cutlery and serving ware for the food service industry. Our new product line is manufactured with a really smart material that degrades very quickly in an active and enclosed landfill. This product provides the food service industry with confidence, that, even in less than ideal disposal situations, decomposing in a short period of time is a reality. It not only degrades quickly.... It biodegrades very quickly.
HOW IT WORKS
Third party ASTM D5511 testing shows that our SuperDegradable additive allows microbial activity to break down the molecular structure of polypropylene, polystyrene and polyethylene at levels up to 100 times faster than without the additive. The biodegradation process begins when the plastic enters into a landfill. Microbes colonize on the outer surface of the plastic and begin to digest it and start the break down process. Since our product works via microbes, it is distinct from other technologies which use heat, moisture, mechanical methods, or UV.
Once in a landfill our product begins biodegradation and takes approximately 5 years to completely biodegrade (a blink of an eye in typical degradation time.) Transitions SuperDegradable cutlery looks, performs and feels like high quality plastic cutlery and easily withstands the most severe heat tests. Doing the right thing has never been easier than with Transitions, the next generation biodegradable cutlery.
