Seamlessly integrates into multi-polymers including spandex
REPLO® is formulated for polyester-based textiles such as PET fibres and polyester–spandex blends used in apparel, carpets, upholstery, hygiene, and baby products. A low-dose, drop-in organic additive, REPLO® integrates at scale without retooling while preserving strength, durability, shelf life, process-ability, and recyclability.
Engineered for impact across plastics
REPLO® is validated for use in conventional plastics, including LDPE, HDPE, PP, and PET. Added at the masterbatch stage, it integrates seamlessly into extrusion, blow molding, injection molding, and film production, no retooling required.
Science at the molecular level
REPLO® enhances microbial access to polymer chains in environments such as landfills, marine systems, wastewater, and industrial composting. This enables biodegradation while maintaining strength, shelf life, and recyclability.
Maintaining performance, improving end-of-life
As Sustainability’s Fourth R®, REPLO® preserves plastic performance throughout its intended lifecycle.

Textile performance meets sustainability
REPLO® is validated for synthetic fibres, including polyester (PET), nylon, acrylic, and polyester–spandex blends. It integrates during melt or fiber extrusion into standard filament and yarn production, no process changes required.
Accelerated biodegradation
In landfill, marine, wastewater, and composting environments, REPLO® enhances microbial breakdown of polymer chains, reducing persistence with no microplastics left behind.
Independently validated, measurable impact
Verified through ASTM D5511, ASTM D6691, and ISO protocols, REPLO® reduces textile breakdown timelines from centuries to years, mitigating secondary microplastic formation and supporting measurable environmental impact.

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.
Yes. REPLO® integrates into multi-layer plastics, coextrusions, laminates, and reinforced fibers. Testing and formulation guidance is provided for specific use cases to ensure accelerated biodegradation without impacting functional performance.
REPLO® is designed for low-lift integration. Standard QA/QC procedures for polymer compounding and fiber spinning suffice; no additional monitoring of additive concentration or thermal stability is required.
REPLO® provides:
- Formulation guidance per polymer/fiber system
- Biodegradation testing data
- Regulatory compliance documentation
- Integration protocols for global manufacturing operations
