To all companies working on plastic pollution measures. The possibilities for environmentally friendly plastic products expand with P-Life technology.
Our research team, consisting of Keio University, Ito En, Inc., SI Resin Industry Co., Ltd., and the Keio University Advanced Molecular Science and Technology Research Center, has successfully obtained a degradation bacterium for polypropylene (PP) that incorporates the additive "P-Life," which imparts biodegradability to plastics. This research achievement represents an important step towards the microbial degradation treatment of non-degradable polyolefin-based plastics. Furthermore, the degradation bacteria attracted by the addition of P-Life are expected to effectively decompose and remove microplastics generated from polyolefin-based plastics, helping to alleviate their accumulation in the global environment. 【Features】 - Multiple degradation bacteria discovered that are compatible with P-Life added plastics - Capable of degrading a wide range of materials, including polypropylene and polyethylene - Safety of metabolites produced after plastic degradation by microorganisms - Effectiveness of P-Life in promoting microbial degradation has been demonstrated *For more details, please refer to the materials.

basic information
In this study, plastic straws with P-Life added were used, and a clear decomposition effect was confirmed by microorganisms obtained from the soil. By combining P-Life with the newly discovered decomposing bacteria, it is expected to improve the biodegradation efficiency of difficult-to-decompose plastics, making a significant contribution to solving the plastic pollution problem. *For more details, please refer to the materials.
