What’s wrong with Plastic

Around a Trillion Plastic bags are used every year worldwide

Some estimates say plastic takes 500 years to degrade

Less than 1% of plastic is recycled

It costs more to recycle than to produce a new plastic bag.

So where does it all go

Bags get blown around to different parts of land , sea, lake and rivers.

Plastic bags photo degrade:

Over time they break down into smaller, more toxic petro polymers.

Great Pacific garbage patchTwice the size of the continental United States

These microscopic particles enter the FOOD CHAIN.

Effect on wildlife is unimaginable.

They die after ingesting plastic bags which they Mistake for Food!!

So what do we do!?

Reduce Day to Day Plastic Usage.

“From the Earth to the Earth”.

Biodegradable alternative to traditional Plastics made from

FEED STOCK

Northern Technologies International Corp.•Environmentally Beneficial Materials Science•Headquartered in Circle Pines, MN USA•Global distribution through 29 Joint-Ventures•Global R&D & Manufacturing Facilities•NASDAQ Ticker: NTIC

Proprietary Technology• Selection of biopolymer matrix• Proprietary know how on compounding, blending and

dispersion• Patented custom formulationsCompetitive Advantages• Ease of processing - end products manufactured with

conventional equipment• Competitive performance to traditional plastics• Portfolio of resin compounds tailored to a wide variety of

end-use applications

• The Concept - PLA Plastic made of corn starch.

• These products become readily available nutrient or a food source for micro organisms.

• They eventually become a part of the microbial food chain, when disposed under composting conditions.

Oxodegradable bags in the environment

Base unit assumed at 100 tons of bags per year-

• Total carbon dioxide emissions is reduced to 41.4% Which is equivalent to 130.09 Tons per year by replacing plastic bags with compostable bags

• This is equivalent to eliminating total carbon foot printannually from

• Driving 27.1 passenger vehicles each year• Consuming 14,584 gallons of gasoline• From consuming 303 barrels of oil• Using electricity in 19.5 homes per year.

• PLA Coated Paper Cups - Contains PLA coating on the inside that is completely heat-stable, these cups fully compost under commercial composting conditions

• Corn Starch Plastic Cutlery - Made from Corn starch, these utensils are a great alternative to 100% virgin plastic utensils

• Bio Degradable Plates - Bio Degradable Plates are made from Corn Starch. The fibers are longer and stronger than regular paper fibers. These plates are strong and durable.

• Compostable Plastic Liners & Bags - Essential for home or office. Product line includes Biobags, Compostable plastic trash bags for all needs.

Earthware provide Eco Friendly solutions replacing Conventional Plastic.

• Daily Garbage Disposable Facilities• Portable Compostable Facilities• End to End Biodegradable Solutions
