ENSO Plastic

ENSO Plastic was formed in 2008 using Bio-tec Environmental product, in 2009 Bio-Tec formulated a product for ENSO Plastic to use for their PET bottle production. ENSO Plastic began producing their own biodegradable additive for the use in plastic articles. The company was founded by Danny and Teresa Clark as a family based business, the business is operated by the couple and Del Andrus.

Performance
Biodegradable plastic using ENSO Plastic does not change the physical properties of the plastic product. Their product performance is similar to others in the market and use 50% carrier resins in their product. The active ingredient level is somewhere below 50% and can be used in major resin types.

Biodegradable Plastic with ENSO
ENSO Plastics has test reports available on their website. Currently many organizations have tested ENSO Plastic including NSF, prior to ENSO releasing their own additive design, their product was not working as expected from Bio-Tec Environmental. ENSO Plastic no longer uses the additive supplied by Bio-Tec Environmental. Currently the ENSO Plastic additive has slow biodegradability of the resin, this may be due to the total amount of active ingredients of the product being below 50%.

Legal Issues
ENSO Plastic is currently being sued by the Attorney General of California for false and misleading claims. These claims which were being made by Bio-Tec Environmental LLC were not in compliance with local laws of the State of California, 3rd party testing which was conducted during 2010 by NSF Labs shows that the Bio-Tec Environmental product was not performing as expected by EcoLogic and a complaint was raised because the lack of biodegradation.

Currently ENSO Plastic sells their own line of biodegradable additives.

Pricing
ENSO Plastic currently sells their biodegradable additive for $14 USD a Kg, their additive has 50% or less active ingredients. They offer lower grade items for the $14 USD a Kg price.
