Diamant Art Corporation (OTCBB: DIAAF) announced that its subsidiary, Bio-Plastics Film Inc. will begin testing a biodegradable additive for plastic drinking bottles this month.
In conjunction with an undisclosed bottled water manufacturer, 5000 pounds of resin will be blended with the Company’s Proprietary Biodegrading Additive for a full scale evaluation.
This formulation will produce in the range of 12,000 bottles for a test run, where the bottles will be evaluated by accelerated bio-exposure and then sent to a recycling facility so they can be re-cycled back into Re-Grind PET Resin.
Once determined that the plastic PET bottles biodegrade according to Diamant’s specifications, Diamant will fill current demand, and execute a marketing strategy to secure a segment of the industry, as legislative pressure continues to build for ecological change in this rapidly evolving marketplace.
Diamant’s biodegradable additive is comprised of FDA Approved ingredients, the company said. All materials used are listed in the federal register, code of federal regulation #21 parts 170 to 199 as "Generally Recognized as Safe for Food Contact Applications."
This bottling additive is a proprietary material that is blended into polyethylene terephthalate (PET) which additional to its biodegrading qualities has the capability of giving it an exceptional glass-like clarity, gloss and extended barrier protection, the company said. PET bottles and containers infused with this can now be used to package a range of shelf-stable products, including salsas, pasta and barbecue sauces, tomato ketchups, similar steak and table hot sauces, jams, jellies, juices, and bottled beverages such as sodas and water.
