Curious about REPLO®?

Curious about REPLO®? Find answers to common questions about how our additive works, speeds up biodegradation, and helps reduce microplastics without compromising performance.

What is REPLO® and how does it work?

REPLO® is a biodegradation additive that is blended into plastics and synthetic textiles during manufacture. It accelerates the natural microbial breakdown of the material at end of life, without affecting performance during use.

Which materials is REPLO® compatible with?

REPLO® works with a broad range of petroleum-based plastics, including LDPE, HDPE, PP, PET and synthetic textiles such as polyester, nylon, spandex, acrylic, and their blends when added at the resin or polymer stage.

Does REPLO® change physical or mechanical properties?

No. REPLO® is designed to be inert during the useful life of the product. Independent testing shows no significant change to tensile strength, elongation, or other key performance metrics.

Does REPLO® contain microbes or heavy metals?

No. REPLO® does not contain live microbes, heavy metals, or any substances restricted under REACH or RoHS regulations.

What are the biodegradation by-products?

When REPLO®-enhanced materials biodegrade in a microbially active environment, the primary by-products are CO₂, water, and biomass — the same outputs as natural organic matter decomposition.
