*EcoSpatulas are 99% polypropylene (PP) resin and 1% EcoPure® organic additive, which helps promote biodegradation of PP. Representative samples of our EcoSpatulas and our standard 100% PP spatulas were tested according to the ASTM D5511 test method (intended to replicate conditions in biologically active landfills). EcoSpatulas biodegraded an average of 29% in the first 586 days of testing compared to 8% for standard 100% PP spatulas. Tests were conducted using 48% solids content, which is not typical; solids content in naturally wetter landfills range from 55% to 65%, while the driest landfills may reach 93%. Actual biodegradation rates will vary in biologically active landfills according to the solids content, temperature, and moisture level of the landfill. EcoSpatulas retain all the original properties and shelf life of our standard PP spatulas: they are autoclavable, resistant to dilute acids and bases, and FDA compliant for food contact. They will not degrade during use. It is only after extended exposure to the microbes in a biologically active landfill that they begin to break down and eventually turn into inert humus and natural gases. Important Notice: Laws in California, Maryland, and Washington prohibit the sale of certain products and packaging that are labeled with the terms “biodegradable”, “degradable”, or “decomposable” or any form of those terms, or that imply in any way that the item will break down, biodegrade, or decompose in a landfill or other environment. These restrictions apply to all sales in or into these states, including such sales over the Internet. Our EcoSpatula product packaging meets the requirements of California, Maryland, and Washington.
