Vancouver B.C. Canada (MMD Newswire) May 27, 2009 -- Planet Green Bottle Corporation (Planet Green) confirmed final receipt of approval for food and beverage contact from the Chemical Health Hazard Assessment Division of HealthCanada for its proprietary state-of-the-art additive technology which causes PET (polyethylene terephthalate) plastic bottle to oxo-biodegrade on a life cycle of 10 to 20 years as opposed to the estimated 1,000 to 10,000 years as projected by many scientists and environmentalists. The oxo-biodegradation process developed by Wells Plastics and Planet Green results in a slow release of CO2 at a rate absorbed by nature. The HealthCanada approval letter was issued to Wells Plastics of the UK, Planet Green's joint venture partner and the developer of the PET masterbatch additive. HealthCanada approval completes the trifecta of approvals to include prior food contact approvals for the USA FDA and the EU food and drug regulatory agencies. Planet Green believes that the triple government agency approvals allows Planet Green to market its patent pending, oxo-biodegradable PET plastic bottle technology globally with a full repertoire of health agency approvals generally recognized and needed to sell the Planet Green product in most territories globally.
