Frequently Asked Questions

RePractice products

How are your products more environmentally friendly?

RePractice plastic products are exclusively manufactured with the addition of TDPA™. When disposed of in soil in the presence of microorganisms, moisture and oxygen, the products will biodegrade, decomposing into simple materials found in nature. The products will degrade into non- toxic end-products within 1-2 years (3-5 years for harder plastic items). The plastic products made using TDPA™ technology are called oxo-biodegradable plastics.

What is TDPA™ additives?

TDPA stands for Totally Degradable Plastic Additives. RePractice plastic products are exclusively manufactured with the addition of TDPA™. TDPA™, when added in small quantities to the most common and widely used commodity – resins – during the manufacture of finished plastic products, causes the modified plastic to degrade at a controlled rate. The overall process from polymer to water, carbon dioxide and bio-mass, is called oxo-biodegradation. Test results and proven scientific studies have verified that products incorporating TDPA™ will eventually degrade, disintegrate and biodegrade.

Does the TDPA™ additives impact the quality of the plastic for use in healthcare?

The additives are non-toxic and do not affect the strength, nor compromise the capabilities of the plastic for its intended purposes.
