The Fight Against Plastic Pollution in Nigeria is finally taking center stage, and the National Policy on Plastic Waste Management is a big step forward! These new guidelines highlight the 3Rs (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle) and push for real solutions like banning single-use plastics, promoting biodegradable alternatives, and improving recycling infrastructure. But the real question is: Can we turn policy into action? Here’s where we see the opportunity: ✅ Biodegradable Solutions: Policies calling for alternatives align perfectly with our mission at Biodegradable Future. We offer regenerative additives that ensure plastics break down into fertile biomass, water, and CO₂, even in unmanaged environments like landfills. ✅ Circular Economy Support: Beyond recycling, our solutions ensure that hard-to-recycle and contaminated plastics have a sustainable end-of-life. ✅ Education & Collaboration: Implementation depends on buy-in from everyone—government, businesses, and individuals. Public awareness is as critical as infrastructure upgrades. This is a bold step for Nigeria, but enforcement, collaboration, and innovation will determine its success. At Biodegradable Future, we’re ready to contribute to a cleaner, circular Nigeria. 💬 What are your thoughts? Are these policies enough to tackle Nigeria’s plastic crisis, or do we need to go further? Let’s talk solutions! #RegenerativePlastics #CircularEconomy #EndPlasticPollution #SustainableNigeria #PlaferaChallenge #ReduceReuseRecycle
About us
According to GreenPeace, less than 10% of the plastic we produce has been recycled, because recycling is expensive. What happens to the other 90%? It pollutes our landfills, oceans and groundwater for hundreds, even thousands of years. What is the solution? Biodegradable Future is a lead supplier of plastic additives that are changing the way we work with plastic. We have developed an additive will not compromise the physical characteristics of your plastic goods, will not negatively impact the recycling process or combustibility and, if it ends up in a landfill, ocean or soil, it will naturally biodegrade. Microorganisms are naturally attracted to carbon, a compound that plastic contains. However, the carbon strains in plastic (polymers) are too long making them impossible for microbes to break them down. Our additive changes the DNA of regular plastic to make it easily biodegrade when it comes into contact with microbes in landfills, soil and oceans. THE SCIENCE BEHIND OUR ADDITIVES Our patent technology is created on the fundamentals of building polymers and depolymerization. In the molecular world, the small sub-units that link together to form larger molecules are called monomers. Once they are linked together, they form a polymer (“multiple units”). The linking of monomers happens during a process called dehydration synthesis. The process is named this because monomers are coming together and synthesizing a polymer by dehydrating, or removing the water molecule. This is exactly how a polymer is formed.

Until recycling gets better there are things we can do that will ensure our planet doesn’t bear the brunt of endless plastic pollution. We at Halcyon Beauty have partnered with Biodegradable Future to bring you organic additives that can be added to ANY plastic to turn all plastics biodegradable in landfills and oceans. It is a cost-effective solutions that works. We can do better-we are emplored now to do better.
Elon Musk’s assertion that “recycling is pointless” may have shocked many, but it cuts to the heart of a critical truth: the system isn’t working. In an exchange on X (formerly Twitter), Musk called out the limitations of recycling—particularly for plastics—sparking heated debates across industries, media, and sustainability circles. While some dismissed his comment as provocative, others saw it for what it is: a wake-up call to confront the uncomfortable reality that recycling systems, as they stand, fail to deliver meaningful impact at the scale our planet demands.

Elon Musk’s claim that recycling is “pointless” highlights the need for better waste solutions. At Biodegradable Future, we believe the focus should shift from recycling alone to regenerative technologies—ensuring materials not only circulate but naturally regenerate at the end of their lifecycle. Recycling alone isn’t enough. By integrating regenerative plastics and organic additives with holistic waste management, we can create a truly sustainable future. What’s your take? Can recycling and regenerative solutions work together for a cleaner planet? Let’s discuss. #Sustainability #Innovation

Imagine if plastics didn’t just disappear but gave back to the planet. That’s amplified regeneration—beyond biodegradation—and it’s what we do at Biodegradable Future. How It Works: Turning Trash into Treasure Plastics treated with our additives break down in landfills, oceans, and composting systems into biomass, water, and CO₂, enriching the soil and supporting ecosystems. 🛠 Like composting, but for plastic. Recycling + Regeneration Our additives work with recycling systems, maximizing plastic’s lifecycle before natural biodegradation transforms waste into resources. 🦸♀️ Think plastics as superheroes—saving landfills, one cup at a time. For All Polymers From PET to textiles, our solution regenerates all polymer-based materials into fertile biomass. 🌍 No discrimination—if it’s plastic, we’ve got it covered. Why Regeneration Wins: It Gives Back: Enriches soil, supports ecosystems. It’s Scalable: Integrates into industries with ease. It’s Versatile: Works across polymers and applications. Science-Backed: Certified by global standards like ASTM for biodegradation in landfills, oceans, and composting. Plus, Intertek Green Leaf Certified for safety and performance. The Future of Plastics: A plastic cup in a landfill doesn’t sit for centuries—it transforms into fertile soil, creating a regenerative cycle that supports life. Let’s collaborate to make waste a resource. Drop us a line and join the movement! https://lnkd.in/ddDhsJQQ #RegenerationNotDegradation #CircularEconomy #BiodegradableFuture

Here we go
Went on @CNN last night to talk about Coca-Cola's decision to water down or abandon its recycling and emissions targets - the latest example in a decades-long tradition that I write about in WASTELAND. This, unfortunately, seems to be a bit of a trend at the moment among big companies, and comes during the week when lobbyists successfully prevented a deal over the UN Plastics Treaty. It's never been more urgent to campaign, and fight, for legally-binding requirements for companies to hit their environmental obligations. As Coca-Cola shows, if you leave it to them, they'll just break their promises - again, and again, and again.
