Do you have evidence of a FULL biodegration or is it a percentage biodegrade of the bottle so far?

Hi, Christian - We are using the same additive as Bio-Tec now. They are actually using a product made by someone else and rebranding it under their name. This is a third generation additive, and it isn't the same as 'oxo' You can get full details at
Biogreen Products. Co. homepage . The additive maker makes this claim - 'fully biodegrades in 9 months to 5 years, depending on conditions. No heat, light, oxygen, or mechanical stress is needed to initiate biodegradation or to complete biodegradation.' Slower biodegredation than PLA is a good thing, because it means that any methane generated is generated after the landfill is capped, and so gasses are either used or at least burned off.
Thanks, Tim Dunn, BioGreen Products Co.
