    Yes, there is such as thing as biodegradable polypropylene. smartSpatula ECO-spatulas are produced with an additive that helps promote biodegradation in the polypropylene resin. The spatulas are 99% virgin polypropylene resin and 1% organic additive. Spatulas produced using this additive were found to biodegrade an average of 29% in the first 586 days of testing. Biodegradation rates of ECO-spatulas were measured according to the ASTM D5511 test method. Tests were conducted using 48% solids content; solids content in naturally wetter landfills range from 55% to 65%, while the driest landfills may reach 93%. Actual biodegradation rates will vary in biologically-active landfills according the solids content, temperature, and moisture levels of the landfill.* EcoSpatulas retain all the original properties and shelf life of our standard PP spatulas: they are autoclavable, resistant to dilute acids and bases, and FDA compliant for food contact. They will not degrade during use. It is only after extended exposure to the microbes in a biologically active landfill that they begin to break down and eventually turn into inert humus and natural gases.
