NGP Technologies. A New Generation of Plastics.
NGP is a groundbreaking new technology that turns a wide range of traditional plastics biodegradable and compostable. This can be achieved with no change to the production process and minimum additional costs and allows you to preserve your proction infrastructure while meeting ecological requirements.

Problem: Plastics Impacts In Daily Life
Plastics have inextricable impact on modern humanlife.
It is difficult to imagine our current lives without the presence of plastics.
No better substitute found yet.
No technical and economic solution to fully degrade and compost conventional plastics after service life yet.
Most plastic alternatives are not economically competitive (or even viable), and don’t even deliver all ecological expectations.
Long Lifetime
Current variations of plastics degrade very slowly. The exponential growth of their use has led to significant built-up of plastic waste in the environment.
Emerging environmentally friendly alternatives often fall short of delivering ecological requirements and are also far from being economically viable.
Environmental Damage
Plastic is a major evironmental toxic pollutant of our time. Plastic pollution can alter habitats and natural processes, reducing ecosystems' ability to adapt to climate change, directly affecting millions of people's livelihoods, food production capabilities and social well-being.
Industrial Dependency
Nonetheless, plastics have broad industrial applications. Their low cost and fast infrastructure built-up gives plastic industry a great momentum and inextricably bound to industrial developments.
Impact on greenhouse gas emissions
NGP-based plastics can reduce greenhouse gas emissions by up to 60% compared to conventional plastic production.
Plastics Degradation Mechanisms
NGP is our contribution to reconciling the practical and economic advantages of the plastics industry with high ecological standards.
Why NGP-based plastics?
Compostable under appropriate conditions.
Provides an eco-friendly solution for degradation in water and under soil with/without presence of UV-light.
Does not release harmful products upon decomposing.
No additional water demand.
It is completely broken down by bacteria into CO2 and H2O and biomass, without any trace of micro-plastics.
Obtained cost-effective with a low price compared to bioplastics or other bio-based plastics.
NGP-Based Plastics
How Does It Work?
NGP Solution
Producing an Effective Solution
- Solutions can be customized for a broad range of base polyolefin and polyester polymers such as HDPE, LDPE, LLDPE, PS, PET, PP and Nitrile.
- The composition ofadditives triggers photo-degradation, biodegradation and composability.
- Only low amounts of additives are required, typically less than 10% mixture.
- Mixing does not require additional infrastructure for plastic manufacturers.
-The obtained products offer robust performance during service life and customizable, short degradation times during subsequent disposal Additive compositionintegrate into the structure of their respective base-polymer and after the service life, unlock its breakdown to basic elemental components with the aid of microorganisms.
