"P-Life" is a groundbreaking additive that leads non-biodegradable plastics, such as polyethylene and polypropylene, to microbial degradation. It is made from additives derived from plant oils (biomass), with an addition amount of 1.5% or more, allowing for the low-cost production of microbial degradation plastic products. By adjusting the addition amount, the degradation period can be controlled, and it can be used without changing the processing conditions in existing processing equipment. 【Features】 ■ Economic efficiency ■ Quality control ■ Safety ■ Retention of physical properties ■ Processability *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.

We would like to introduce the case studies of our product, "P-Life." The rose cushioning material "Super-Foam" is a fully biodegradable product that has the decomposer P-Life added to both the contents and the outer bag at an early stage. It has also been adopted for the amenity goods of Holiday Inn and ANA Hotels (InterContinental Hotels Group). In addition, it is used for packaging grapes, fashion bags for banks, and dedicated garbage bags for "biowaste" by local governments. For more detailed information, please refer to the related links.

We would like to introduce a case study on the use of 'P-Life' in the seedling protection shelter of the Forestry Division of Sumitomo Forestry Co., Ltd.'s Resource and Environmental Business Headquarters. The company's wildlife damage prevention tube (wood pole shelter) protects planted seedlings from damage caused by deer, rabbits, and other animals. Made from biodegradable tubes and domestically sourced wooden posts, these environmentally friendly materials allow for labor-saving removal operations. While the seedlings are growing, the shelter functions as a protective cover, and afterwards, the shelter (PP) will biodegrade through microbial action thanks to this product. [Case Overview] ■ Material: Polypropylene + P-Life ■ Functions as a shelter until the seedlings grow ■ After growth, the shelter (PP) will biodegrade through P-Life *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.

We would like to introduce the case study of utilizing 'P-Life' in designated bags for composting, specifically for biodegradable kitchen waste. The bags containing kitchen waste are processed at a composting center. The garbage bags decompose due to our product, and the kitchen waste turns into compost, which is then sold to nearby farmers. Please feel free to contact us if you have any inquiries. 【Case Overview】 ■ Material: PE + P-Life ■ Processed at the composting center while still in the bag containing kitchen waste ■ Garbage bags decompose due to P-Life ■ Kitchen waste becomes compost and is sold to nearby farmers *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.

"Compost bags" use P-Life additive polyethylene film made from biodegradable plastic technology. Since they do not hydrolyze, there is no need for special storage, and there is no concern about bag breakage due to liquid waste. You can simply throw them directly into the compost. Additionally, they are being adopted and used in Motegi Town, Tochigi Prefecture. Please feel free to contact us when you need assistance. 【Features】 ■ Can be used in the same way as regular polyethylene bags ■ No special storage required since they do not hydrolyze ■ No concerns about bag breakage due to liquid waste ■ Just throw them directly into the compost ■ Number of compatible lots can be discussed *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.

"Gakubuchi-kun" is a product that uses a revolutionary additive that leads difficult-to-decompose plastics, which are considered hard to biodegrade, to microbial decomposition. The name comes from the fact that mulch film has both covered and exposed parts; the exposed parts are promoted to biodegrade by sunlight, oxygen, and heat, while the parts covered by soil remain like a "gakubuchi," hence the name. Exposure to direct sunlight accelerates the decomposition rate. The stretching period is approximately 5 to 6 months. 【Features】 ■ Uses a revolutionary additive that leads difficult-to-decompose plastics to microbial decomposition ■ Extremely excellent moisture retention, allowing for stretching similar to regular mulch ■ Decomposes into carbon dioxide and water through a two-step process ■ Exposure to direct sunlight accelerates the decomposition rate *For more details, please refer to the PDF materials or feel free to contact us.

Introducing the microbial-decomposable paper napkin "eco+P." It is highly versatile and works well in cafes, restaurants, outdoor activities, and more. Both the individual packaging and the paper napkin can decompose through microbial action, returning to natural soil and water. Please feel free to contact us when you need assistance. 【Features】 ■ Can decompose through microbial action, returning to natural soil and water ■ Versatile for multiple uses *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

"Mamoru" is a peeling prevention material using a net-wrapping method. It has minimal discoloration, excellent durability, and a lightweight, compact design that makes it easy to wrap around various tree shapes. Additionally, it allows for full protection without hindering tree growth. The surface is made of film yarn, which is resistant to rain, wind, and snow, and maintains 60% of its durability and lightfastness even after 10 years. [Features] - Easy to apply to various tree shapes - Full protection without hindering tree growth - Surface made of film yarn, resistant to rain, wind, and snow - Durability and lightfastness maintained at 60% even after 10 years - Only requires scissors and the work tool "Otasukebou" *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

"P-Life" is a groundbreaking additive that leads non-biodegradable plastics, such as polyethylene and polypropylene, to become biodegradable plastics through microbial decomposition. This additive is made from raw materials derived from plant oils (biomass), and since the addition amount is from 1.5%, it enables the production of microbial biodegradable plastic products at a low cost. We also offer a service to test the time frame until the product becomes inconsistent, including how much the variation changes with different addition amounts when companies that purchase the raw materials start manufacturing products. By adding this product, it is possible to convert non-biodegradable plastic materials into biodegradable ones. Additionally, a joint research team from Keio University, Ito En, and P-Life Japan Inc. has conducted research using straws containing this product and identified the decomposition bacteria. We also handle cushioning material "Rice Wrap" made from processed rice. [Applications] ■ Shopping bags, garbage bags, food trays, packaging materials, etc. *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.
