Plastics are a naturally  occurring material, and have been used for millions of years. In natural  plastics, the material is biodegradable meaning that once it\u2019s use is complete,  the <strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a class=\"style1\" href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Biodegradable_plastic\">biodegradable plastic<\/a><\/span><\/strong> returns naturally to the earth and a  new cycle can begin. Now we have come along and created artificial plastic; a  material we have modified from a natural product to create strength, protection  and durability. We stand in awe at the amazing benefits of this material, while  we turn a blind eye to the mountains of plastic waste piling up around us. To  address this, in the past we would burn, bury or try to force artificial  degradation with starch and oxo-degradable additives. This left us with toxic  fumes and \/or toxic particles and metals left in the environment.<\/p>\n<p>There is a better way: ENSO Bottles with EcoPure, take the  wisdom of nature and the creativity of man to create a truce in this battle, a  collaboration of all sides. Plastics that have the durability and strength man  created, coupled with the biodegradation that nature intended.\u00a0 ENSO  bottles facilitate natural biodegradation through the same natural microbial  digestion that breaks down dead trees in a forest. Once biodegraded, ENSO <strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a class=\"style1\" href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Biodegradable_plastic\">biodegradable  plastics<\/a><\/span><\/strong> leave the same natural products as that tree in the forest.
