There is no minimum order from our distributor, Imperial Dade.

Currently, TrayScapes is available in the Northeast US. However, over time, additional regions will be added for delivery. Please get in touch with us if you are based outside of the Northeast US to explore options.

No! You can order just what you need.

Yes. Fiberboard trays can be custom-printed upon request.

We will be developing additional sizes and shapes for the plastic and fiberboard components. Your feedback is welcome as to what you think would be most advantageous to add to the line.

Yes. We will consult with you on how best to utilize TrayScapes. We can virtually consult with you to develop your TrayScapes line.

The first 30-minute consulting session is free. Just fill out the contact form, and we will set up a time to connect.

Yes, TrayScapes’ BDP inserts and liners are FDA certified.

Yes, BDP Technology only needs 60 degrees Fahrenheit to activate in a bioactive landfill. Landfill temperatures range around 90 degrees Fahrenheit. BDP Technology does not leave any microplastics behind.

Our material has completed the ASTM D5511 - Anaerobic biodegradation of plastic materials under high solids anaerobic digestion conditions. This is the equivalent to the ISO 15985 & EN 15985. Also, it completed the ASTM D5526-18, ASTM D5988, ASTM D5338, ASTM D6691-17, ASTM E1963, FDA, and EU food safety tests have been made and met.

Yes, this can be used with either virgin or recycled materials.

No, if those elements are not available, i.e. a landfill environment, BDP Technology just needs a few items. Thermal heat of 60 degrees Fahrenheit, Water, and Active Bacteria, which is an Anaerobic environment like a landfill.

BDP Technology-enabled products are completely recyclable. TrayScapes, however, is not considered compostable due to timing. For a product to be considered compostable, it must break down in 180 days or less certification ASTM 6400.

Our BDP Technology breaks down plastic once it is in a landfill environment or waterway, which can take between 12 months and 5 years, depending on the substrate of the plastic.

Yes, BDP Technology only needs 60 degrees Fahrenheit to activate in a bioactive landfill. Landfill temperatures range around 90 degrees Fahrenheit. BDP Technology does not leave any microplastics behind. The material used in creating TrayScapes is landfill certified, having completed the ASTM D5511 — Anaerobic biodegradation of plastic materials under high solids, and anaerobic digestion conditions.

This is the equivalent to the ISO 15985 &EN 15985.

The BDP Technology ingredients are all organic compounds originally derived from crude oil. The exact formulations are trade secrets, and the list of ingredients is protected by the patent family. We do use carrier resins, which are chosen specifically to aid the dispersion and homogenization of the BDP without affecting the parent polymers functionality.

BDP differs from oxo-degradable additives as it doesn’t require any oxygen for it to work. It works in contrast to oxo-degradable; it requires little to no oxygen (anaerobic environment) for the product to begin breaking down. Along with that, oxo-degradable uses catalysts like salt of manganese to stabilize it, leaving toxins in the soil.

BDP technology is an organic formula that leaves zero toxins (ASTM E1963) and no microplastics.

The carbon footprint/sustainability footprint causes minimal carbon to be produced, does not produce any wastewater, and does not emit toxic odors into the environment. The CO2 effect is less than recycling.

Polymers treated with BDP Technology (within the TrayScapes product line) will break down in residential and commercial environments. Unfortunately, our tech doesn’t break down fast enough when looking at today’s standards.

BDP Technology is made from organic compounds originally found in crude oil. This makes them compatible with regular polymers and as such, do not interfere with recycling or devalue the recycle. The process of recycling BDP-treated polymers with non-treated polymers has the effect of diluting the ingredients to such a level that they lose their efficacy.
