Eco Ventures’ participation in Interplast 2026 highlights Go Green P-Life, a Japanese technology internationally recognized for its effectiveness in plastic biodegradation and combating the formation of microplastics. The pro-degradant additive, developed from coconut oil fatty acid, transforms naphtha-derived polymers, such as polyethylene, polypropylene, PET, and polystyrene, into oxo-biodegradable materials, allowing their subsequent assimilation by natural microorganisms.
“Bringing P-Life to Interplast is about presenting the market with a concrete, scientifically validated solution ready for immediate industrial application, capable of making a real contribution to addressing the environmental liabilities of plastics,” says Claudia Corrente Garcia, marketing manager at Eco Ventures.
The major differentiating factor presented at this edition of the fair lies in the most recent research results conducted by Dr. Kenji Miyamoto of Keio University, which have proven the ability of bacteria present in the soil and marine environment to degrade plastics with P-Life, including materials traditionally considered difficult to decompose, such as polystyrene. The studies identified specific strains capable of metabolizing the byproducts of degradation, converting them into water and carbon dioxide, in addition to mapping the genetic mechanism involved in this process. This validation enhances the scientific robustness of the technology and reinforces its potential for global application.
By presenting P-Life at Interplast, Eco Ventures positions itself as a strategic bridge between cutting-edge Japanese science and practical application in the Brazilian and Latin American markets. The proposal is to offer a scalable, industrially viable, and scientifically proven solution to one of the greatest contemporary environmental challenges: the persistent accumulation of plastic waste and the growing concern about microplastics in terrestrial and marine environments.
P-LIFE TECHNOLOGY ECO VENTURES REINFORCES NEW GENERATION OF PLASTIC BIODEGRADATION
P-Life is incorporated into the conventional production process with operational simplicity. Compatible with extrusion, blow molding, injection molding, thermoforming, and rotomolding, the additive is applied in low percentages, typically between 1% and 2% of the formulation, without the need for machine adaptation or structural changes to industrial lines. This characteristic represents a significant competitive advantage for processors and industries seeking sustainable innovation without compromising productivity or efficiency.
From a technical standpoint, the product maintains essential properties of plastic, such as mechanical strength, transparency, sealing, permeability, and print quality. In addition, it allows recycling before the start of the degradation process, acting as a complementary solution to the circular economy, and not as a replacement for traditional reuse flows.
Another point that draws attention is the renewable origin of the raw material. Developed from coconut palm oil, P-Life is non-toxic, free of heavy metals, and comes from a renewable source, reducing the exclusive dependence on fossil inputs in the final composition of the plastic product. This attribute increases its adherence to environmental guidelines, corporate sustainability policies, and ESG goals that are increasingly present in the strategy of large companies.
“The new scientific validation involving the marine environment represents a significant advance. Until then, most pro-degradation technologies focused on studies conducted in terrestrial conditions,” highlights the marketing manager. The proof of effectiveness also in a marine context expands the understanding of the material’s behavior after improper disposal and strengthens the proposal to mitigate the formation and persistence of microplastics.
