Frequently Asked Questions

WFP's plastics use a proprietary hybrid technology that combines chemical and biological processes to ensure complete biodegradation without leaving microplastics. This approach is more environmentally friendly than traditional plastics and some other biodegradable options. 

WFP products are designed to be fully recyclable and compostable, reducing waste and promoting a circular economy. They can be recycled before biodegradation is triggered, aligning with sustainable practices. 

The biodegradation time varies depending on environmental conditions, but it is typically three-to-five years versus centuries for traditional plastics. WFP plastics are designed to break down completely in active microbial environments such as landfills or composting facilities, without leaving harmful residues. 

Yes, our biodegradable plastics can be produced using existing manufacturing equipment, making it easy for companies to integrate them into their current production lines in an economical fashion. 

Yes, WFP products are FDA compliant for use in food-related applications, ensuring safety and sustainability for food packaging needs. 

We hold various certifications, including ASTM standards for biodegradability and compliance with FDA regulations for food contact. Our products also meet international standards for environmental safety. Please see our “Certifications” of this website for more information. 

Our hybrid technology ensures that plastics break down completely into natural elements without fragmenting into microplastics, addressing a significant environmental concern associated with some other biodegradable plastic solutions. 

Yes, WFP products are versatile and can be used in furniture, packaging, textile agriculture, cosmetic tubes, medical devices, and more, providing a sustainable alternative across multiple sectors. Please refer the “Markets” section for more information. 

WFP products reduce plastic pollution by ensuring complete biodegradation, minimize waste in landfills, and support a circular economy by being recyclable and compostable.
