Ingevity (NGVT) Awarded OK Biodegradable SOIL Certification
Read MoreHide Full Article
Ingevity Corporation (NGVT - Free Report) recently announced that its Capa polycaprolactone thermoplastic grades have received the OK biodegradable SOIL certification from TUV Austria Bureau of Inspection and Certification. This confirms that Capa thermoplastics completely biodegrade in soil without harming the environment.
The SOIL certification is Ingevity's fifth TUV Austria OK certification for Capa thermoplastics products, joining certifications for WATER and MARINE biodegradability, in addition to INDUSTRIAL and HOME compostability. This highlights the additional benefits the Capa portfolio offers for agricultural and horticultural products.
Capa thermoplastics, when used in applications such as seed coatings, tree shelters, mulch films, plant-fixing clips, binding yarn and control-release carrier substances for plant protection additives, allow agricultural products to completely biodegrade after use, preventing the formation of harmful microplastics. This certification enables Ingevity to penetrate the multibillion-dollar agriculture and horticultural businesses with Capa technology.
Shares of NGVT have lost 11.3% over the past year against a 13.4% rise of its industry.
