      <title>Researchers Unveil New Solution for Rubber Waste</title>
      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p class="subheadline">ENSO Plastics’ lead researcher will make a major announcement for latex and rubber waste at this year’s International Latex Conference.</p><p>Mesa, AZ -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.releasewire.com/">ReleaseWire</a>) -- 07/17/2013 --  The increasing amount of landfilled rubber and latex waste is an imperative concern for government entities and environmentalists worldwide.  Teresa Clark, researcher for <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="ENSO Plastics" href="http://www.ensoplastics.com">ENSO Plastics</a> will be presenting "Advancements in Rubber and Latex Disposal – Biodegradation and the Environment" at this year&apos;s <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="International Latex Conference, July 23-24 in Akron, Ohio" href="http://conferences.rubbernews.com/2013/international-latex/">International Latex Conference, July 23-24 in Akron, Ohio</a>.  <br />
<br />
Revealed at the conference will be the groundbreaking development, <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="ENSO RESTORE™ RL" href="http://www.ensoplastics.com/Products/Products.html">ENSO RESTORE™ RL</a>; a revolutionary technology that accelerates the natural biodegradation of synthetic rubber in landfills, as well as an unexpected discovery about natural rubber that may change the entire rubber industry.<br />
<br />
Biodegradable plastics have been the big hitter in the past 10 years, with various compostable plastics such as PLA, PHA, Starch, and <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="ENSO RENEW™" href="http://www.ensoplastics.com/Products/Products.html">ENSO RENEW™</a>; as well as products like <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="ENSO RESTORE™" href="http://www.ensoplastics.com/Products/Products.html">ENSO RESTORE™</a> that enhance the biodegradation of traditional plastics. However the rubber industry has produced little technological advancements regarding environmental remediation, until now. <br />
<br />
The research break-through that lead to the development of <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="ENSO RESTORE™ RL" href="http://www.ensoplastics.com/Products/Products.html">ENSO RESTORE™ RL</a> issues in a new age of rubber, one that focuses on the environmental disposal.  ENSO RESTORE™ RL is a unique material that increases the biodegradation of synthetic rubber within natural microbial and municipal landfill environments. Independent laboratory testing shows nitrile treated with ENSO RESTORE™ RL biodegrading 16.9% in the first 20 days compared to Nitrile showing no biodegradation during the same time period.  Similar accelerated biodegradation results are seen in polychloroprene, polyurethane and other synthetic materials when treated with ENSO RESTORE™ RL.<br />
<br />
As a society it is crucial that we address the huge amount of rubber waste going into landfills. Plastics have traditionally received most of the attention regarding waste with programs such as recycling, biodegradable, compostable and renewable solutions being offered. Unfortunately rubber waste, although just as important, has not received the same attention.  <br />
<br />
<a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="ENSO Plastics™" href="http://www.ensoplastics.com">ENSO Plastics™</a> is committed to addressing the environmental impact of rubber and plastic waste and continues to lead the market with products that solve plastic waste issues with products like <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="ENSO RENEW" href="http://www.ensoplastics.com/Products/Products.html">ENSO RENEW</a>: A compostable, marine degradable and renewable biopolymer; and <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="ENSO RESTORE" href="http://www.ensoplastics.com/Products/Products.html">ENSO RESTORE</a>: A family of products that accelerate the biodegradation of polyester, polypropylene, polyethylene, PVC, rubber and other materials.<br />

      <title>Newly Developed Plastic Reduces Carbon Footprint 75%</title>
      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p>Mesa, AZ -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.releasewire.com/">ReleaseWire</a>) -- 06/13/2013 --  ENSO Plastics™ announces their latest product; demonstrating their continued commitment to innovation and the environment with the release of ENSO RENEW™ RTP.  ENSO RENEW™ RTP is a revolutionary plastic that puts the environment first with a significant reduction in carbon footprint, rapid biodegradability and the utilization of agricultural waste rather than petroleum or fossil fuels.<br />
<br />
ENSO RENEW™ RTP provides a huge reduction in overall carbon footprint. A product&apos;s carbon footprint is a critical factor when determining the impact on the environment.  ENSO RENEW™ RTP boasts a carbon footprint over 50% less than PLA (one of the most common bio-plastics) and over 75% lower than HDPE (the plastic used to make film, milk jugs and many other items). ENSO RENEW™ RTP is made from agricultural waste that is manufactured very close to the source keeping the carbon footprint minimal. While most companies work to reduce their carbon footprint by fractions of a percent, ENSO RENEW RTP opens a whole new realm of possibilities.  <br />
<br />
ENSO RENEW™ RTP offers a unique end-of-life advantage for disposal not requiring specialized industrial composting facilities to breakdown, as ENSO RENEW™ RTP biodegrades rapidly in most natural soil and marine environments.  ENSO RENEW™ RTP passes the ASTM D6400 standard for industrial composting, as well as marine degradability and home composting in as little as 10 days.  Additionally, ENSO RENEW™ RTP is natural, and if accidentally consumed by wildlife will not cause harm.  <br />
<br />
ENSO RENEW™ RTP can be used as a stand-alone resin or blended with polyethylene or polypropylene.  ENSO RENEW™ RTP is made from agricultural waste allowing manufacturers to take advantage of "bio-preferred" programs whether used as a stand-alone or blended.<br />
<br />
ENSO RENEW™ RTP resin blends well with many types of PE, as well as PP, and shows good versatility in many applications; such as films, blow molded parts, and heavier injection molded parts. ENSO is currently working with leading companies in agriculture, consumer goods and other high profile applications, who recognize the unique opportunity to use plastic that is sourced sustainably, used effectively, and disposed of in a way that adds value to the ecosystem. <br />
<br />
Between the environmental damage caused by long lasting traditional plastics and the need for alternative solutions, ENSO RENEW™ RTP will change the face of the industry and the environment.  Contact an ENSO Plastics Business Development Representative today to learn more about how your company and brand can now use plastics that are more environmentally responsible.<br />
