The Problem
Every year, over 380 million tons of plastic are produced globally. Less than 9% is recycled. The rest accumulates in landfills, oceans, and ecosystems — breaking down into microplastics that contaminate food chains, water supplies, and human tissue.
The plastic crisis isn't a recycling problem. It's a material science problem.
The Solution
Smart Plastic Technologies developed ECLIPSE — the only functional plastic additive proven to enable complete bio-assimilation of conventional plastics with zero microplastic residue. Unlike biodegradable alternatives that fragment into microplastics, ECLIPSE transforms the fundamental chemistry of how plastic breaks down.
