TDPA™ Oxo-biodegradable

EPI is the pioneer in developing oxo-biodegradable plastic technology and making plastics oxo-biodegrade in the open environment in a much shorter timescale than conventional plastics. With almost 30 years of R&D experience, knowledge and expertise, EPI remains the premium provider of oxo-biodegradable plastic masterbatches in the industry.

EPI’s flagship product, Totally Degradable Plastic Additive™ (TDPA™), is used by plastic manufacturers to produce oxo-biodegradable finished products such as bags, mulch films and other single-use plastics. TDPA™ oxo-biodegradable technology is affordable, scientifically proven and widely accepted as an invaluable solution to the global issue of plastic waste pollution.

TDPA™ brand and EPI’s daisy logo enjoy global recognition as the gold-standard in oxo-biodegradable industry and are used by some of the best-known end-users in the world.

Enviro Cover System

In 1997, EPI developed a specialized landfill cover technology that would simultaneously apply and anchor an engineered geosynthetic film to the working face of landfills. The film, commercially known as Envrio Cover, serves as an alternative daily cover for landfills and effectively controls disease vectors, odors, fires, blowing litter and scavenging without presenting a threat to human health or the environment.

Enviro Cover was recognized by ASTM as a non-reusable geosynthetics in 2000. In the same year, EPI’s technology was adopted by the then largest landfill in the world, Puente Hills Landfill in California, U.S.A., to cover their working faces. Puente Hills Landfill continued the use of Enviro Cover System until its closure in 2013.

With over 20 years of experience, EPI continues to develop its landfill cover technology to suit the needs of different landfills. Enviro Cover System is now helping some of the largest waste management companies and municipal landfills in the world to save airspace, time and costs and to control environmental issues at the working face.
