Transitions2earth™ To Launch New SuperDegradable™ Cutlery 500 Count Box

PRLog (Press Release) - Aug 27, 2009 -
Seattle, Washington – Transitions2earth™ prepares to launch new SuperDegradable™ cutlery 500 piece box.  With dynamic graphics and super bright colors, Transitions2earth resets the standard for biodegradable cutlery and packaging.  Randy Bennett, company spokesperson said ; “our new package clearly reflects our unequaled quality and commitment to the environment… while supporting the technology used to create this exciting new product.”

Transitions2earth™ SuperDegradable™ cutlery, looks, performs and feels like high quality plastic cutlery. Doing the right thing for the environment has never been easier.

Due to “end of life” management constraints, over 98% of all single use food service cutlery ends up in the garbage, and ultimately a landfill. Transitions2earth™ SuperDegradable™ cutlery is a very real and long term solution for the millions of pieces of single use cutlery used every day. With a very limited number of commercial composting facilities (about 135) operating throughout  the country, it will be many years before composting will become a viable option for the disposal of single use cutlery and other disposable food containers.

Transitions2earth™, in partnership with EcoPure™ has introduced an additive, that allows microbial activity to break down the molecular structure of polypropylene, polystyrene, and polyethylene at levels of up to 100 times faster than without the additive.
The biodegradation process begins when the plastic enters into a landfill.  Microbes colonize on the outer surface or the plastic, and begin to digest it, starting the breakdown process.  Since the process works using microbes, it is distinct, from other technologies which use heat, moisture, mechanical methods or UV.

Transitions2earth™ is committed to the environment, and developed this product to significantly reduce the impact of single use plastic cutlery on the environment.
Transitions2earth™ located in Seattle, Washington manufactures, and distributes high quality SuperDegradable™ Food Service products throughout the United States.  For more information, visit www.transitions2earth.com
