American Trade Products Presents Earth Plastics

American Trade Products (ATP), an industry leader in thermoformed plastic products, introduced Earth Plastic, a revolutionary plastic material that is 100 percent biodegradable, made from recycled plastic and a proprietary blend of additives that enables it to break down
in landfill and compost environments. And of course, it is also 100 percent recyclable. Unlike traditional plastics which do not biodegrade, Earth Plastic additives enable microorganisms to break down the molecular structure of the plastic into soil-like material that is not harmful to the environment.

The first consumer products made with Earth Plastic are a line of 100 percent biodegradable paint trays and sundries currently available at The Home Depot, select Wal-Mart stores, and Sherwin-Williams across the country.

Earth Plastic can be used to manufacture thousands of eco-conscious plastic products which have the identical look, durability, function and shelf-life of non-biodegradable plastic products and are competitively priced.

Earth Plastic is a natural extension of ATP's 20-year commitment to providing consumers with earth-friendly yet competitively priced products. Whether disposed of in landfills, compost heaps or other locations, Earth Plastic products biodegrade within approximately two to five years
depending on conditions.

Earth Plastic additives have been tested and certified as biodegradable by independent laboratories using American Society of Testing Materials' (ASTM) standard methodologies. ASTM International is one of the world's largest and most reputable organizations for developing technical standards for materials, products, systems, and services.
