In an effort to reduce the environmental impact of plastic waste, RES Brasil has created a new platform that utilizes 3D augmented reality technology to educate manufacturers and consumers about the benefits of biodegradable plastics. The platform, available at www.biodegradavel.com.br, aims to raise awareness about the importance of proper disposal and abandonment of plastics in the environment.
RES Brasil is the national representative of Symphony Environmental, a British company that has developed d2w, a technology that accelerates the biodegradation of plastic. The company has partnered with dozens of licensed manufacturers in Brazil’s plastics sector, known as biomakers, who use the product in their packaging.
d2w plastic is designed to be used in the same applications and purposes as traditional plastic, and it can be recycled if collected. However, if the product packaging escapes collection and ends up in landfills or oceans, d2w breaks down the molecular bonds, converting the material into carbon dioxide and biomass that can be easily consumed by fungi and bacteria in the environment.
Studies conducted by Queen Mary University of London, the Oxomar Project, and the Station d’Essais de Vieillissement Naturel de Bandol have demonstrated the effectiveness of d2w plastic, which is non-toxic to marine life and biodegrades 90 times faster than conventional plastics.
The RES Brasil platform aims to provide educational resources and information to brands that use plastics and are concerned about improper disposal in nature. By showcasing the benefits and advantages of d2w plastic, the platform aims to encourage the plastics industry to adopt sustainable practices and promote a more circular economy.
Overall, RES Brasil’s new platform is an important step towards reducing plastic waste and promoting sustainable practices in Brazil’s plastics sector.
