This Startup Invented Programmable, Drinkable Plastic That Dissolves In Water In 60 Hours

While there are many good uses for plastic, its major drawback has been the same since Day One: It can take anywhere from 20 to 500 years to decompose. Timeplast is an innovative company that has created an innovative plastic that can dissolve in water, then that water is completely drinkable after only about 60 hours. Timeplast recently launched on StartEngine, which means anyone can invest in Timeplast for a limited time.

The company is built on 15 years of research and development and prototyping. Now, Timeplast is ready to take the world by storm. Timeplast is a techno-organic material that dissolves within 60 hours of being discarded in water. With this ability, it could replace conventional plastics, glass metal, and paper. Depending on the needs of the supplier, the plastic can be programmed to dissolve sooner or later.

How Can Timeplast Be Used?

Timeplast was designed to be a versatile techno-organic material with multiple applications. It's available in three raw forms: crystals, small and large pellets. 

All three forms have a wide range of applications, including packaging and construction. With a weight and feel similar to plastic, Timeplast can be used in both lightweight and rigid applications.

Why It's A Big Deal

In addition to its environmental impact, Timeplast is a game-changer for several other reasons.

To start, Timeplast is believed to be the first hybrid, programmable, hydro-soluble copolymer to be patented with unlimited equimolar counter diffusion. With that, Timeplast is much more versatile than other alternatives to traditional plastic.

Speaking of versatility, Timeplast is a potential replacement for traditional polyethylene, polypropylene, polystyrene and polyvinyl chloride applications that have harmed the environment for hundreds of years. 

How Is Timeplast Made?

Timeplast s produced by independent manufacturers who are experts in chemical and bio-based materials. The company aspires to transition to self-manufacturing the final product in the future. 

In the existing business model, it dispatches raw materials — along with a unique polymerization-triggering wax — to a compounder, which results in the creation of the final masterbatch product.

The polymerization stage, where the material truly comes to life, uses the clients’ manufacturing systems as polymerization reactors. This energy-demanding procedure is not just cost-effective but also reduces carbon footprint, which allows Timeplast to be more economical than bio-based plastics, metals, glasses and papers available in the marketplace. 

The Future Of Timeplast

It took 15 years for Timeplast to reach this point, and the company is finally ready to bring its material to those who can use it most. If you're bullish on Timeplast's approach to reducing the world's carbon footprint, you can invest in the company for a limited time.
