Program Goals
6.37 Billion Smartphone Users in the world - 80.63% of the world population
An estimated 1 billion phone cases were sold in 2023
In 2023, less than 10% of plastic used worldwide was recycled
1.6 billion discarded plastic cases per year - Approx. 40,000 Tons of waste
Complex plastic can take more than 500 years to breakdown
On average each user changes their phone case every 21 months
At its core, Self-Cycle™ plastics are formulated to be environmentally friendly. Recognizing that a significant percentage of plastic isn't recycled and often ends up in landfills, Self-Cycle™ plastics have been engineered to address this issue.
Specifically designed to ensure rapid degradation when disposed of in landfills, Pivet’s Self-Cycle™ technology is a solution that provides an eco-friendly alternative for consumers that doesn’t require them to change their existing behavior.
When exposed to microbe-rich environments like landfills, the plastic's molecular structure expands, allowing microbes to penetrate it. These microbes then secrete acids that break down the polymer chains, utilizing the carbon backbone of the polymer chain as an energy source.
As a result, Self-Cycle™ breaks down into organic matter (biomass) and biogas, which can potentially be harnessed for clean energy. Additionally, the CO² released during this process is locked into the ground, minimizing its greenhouse effect.
In a market where "greenwashing" or misleading eco-friendly claims are rampant, Self-Cycle™ offers a genuine solution. Its properties allow it to be recycled with mainstream plastics, ensuring that it doesn't contaminate the recycling stream. Moreover, its ability to cause rapid degradation of plastics in natural environments, positions it as a truly sustainable alternative to conventional plastics.
