Previously PVC had been immortal in the landfill; no degradation was found after
decades of landfill burial. When degradable materials, such as starch, were added,
they were consumed in the landfill but the PVC itself was untouched. BIOtech
Products has developed BIOchem™  a nontoxic formula that, at very low levels,
enables landfill decomposition. BIOflex® has been engineered to be the FIRST truly
environmentally friendly, biodegradable PVC product.

BIOchem can be added to a PVC products which will help biodgrade PVC within 3 to 5
years. It is based on the latest technology, highly pure PVC resin, fine particle
limestone to provide opacity, plasticizer of vegetable origin to provide flexibility, and
the titanium pigment used in the highest quality paint to add to sunlight resistance.
Overall, more than 80% of the content is derived from sources other than petroleum.
