Stay informed with the latest updates on how REPLO® technology is accelerating change and industry news shaping sustainable plastics and textiles.
Positioned as Sustainability’s Fourth R®, REPLO® complements Reduce, Reuse and Recycle through advanced organic additive technology designed to enhance biodegradation of plastics and synthetic textiles under defined conditions.
Reduce. Reuse. Recycle. What comes next?
The sustainability conversation is expanding beyond collection and recovery.
Despite progress in recycling, landfill remains the dominant destination for waste globally.

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