Claim #1 - We have tested this polypropylene bottle via ASTM D5511 which has shown accelerated biodegradation of 6.67% after 30 days as compared to 0% biodegradation of a non BDP- treated bottle. No further testing was carried out. Biodegradation rates of BDP-treated plastic materials are measured according to the ASTM D5511 test method. Tests are generally conducted using 20% to 30% solids content; solids content in naturally wetter landfills range from 55% to 65%, while the driest landfills may reach 93%. Actual biodegradation rates will vary in biologically-active landfills according to the type of plastic used, the product configuration, and the solid content, temperature and moisture levels of the landfill.

Claim #2 - *Important Notice for California, Maryland and Washington: These states prohibit the sale of plastic packaging and plastic products that are labelled with the terms ‘biodegradable’, ‘degradable’ or ‘decomposable’, or any form of those terms, or imply in any way that the plastic will break down, biodegrade or decompose in a landfill or other environment. These restrictions apply to all sales in or into the states, including sales over the internet.
