Let’s explore and debunk.

LEVEL 1: CONVENTIONAL PLASTICS.

These are traditional, fossil-fuel-based plastics, including Polyethylene (PE), Polypropylene (PP), Polystyrene (PS), Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC), and Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET). They are widely used but contribute heavily to pollution as they persist in the environment for centuries.

Levels of Plastics

LEVEL 2: PARTIALLY RECYCLED PLASTICS.

These are plastics that contain a mix of virgin and recycled content, such as Partially Recycled PET (rPET) or Partially Recycled PE. While they reduce raw material use, they still pose environmental challenges due to the presence of new plastic.

LEVEL 3: 100% RECYCLED PLASTICS.

Plastics made entirely from recycled materials, such as 100% Recycled PET or 100% Recycled HDPE. These help reduce waste and limit the need for virgin plastic but still face the issue of microplastics and degradation over time.

LEVEL 4: PARTIALLY BIO-BASED PLASTICS.

These include plastics that are partially derived from renewable biological resources, like Bio-based PET and Partially Bio-based PLA. Although sourced from plants, they may still contain fossil-fuel-based components and don’t fully address long-term environmental concerns.

LEVEL 5: 100% BIOBASED PLASTICS.

Fully plant-based plastics, such as PLA (Polylactic Acid) and PHA (Polyhydroxyalkanoates), which are derived entirely from renewable sources. They offer a more eco-friendly alternative to conventional plastics but may not always degrade efficiently in natural environments.

LEVEL 6: WATER SOLUBLE PLASTICS.

The most advanced and environmentally friendly solution, including Timeplast, which dissolves completely in water, leaving no microplastics or harmful residues behind. Timeplast breaks down into naturally occurring compounds, aligning with nature’s design, as water is intended to be the universal solvent. This represents the ultimate level of plastic sustainability.

What if all plastics

in the world were made by Timeplast?

We conducted a field test in a marine aquarium environment. Unlike yuca and other bio-based plastics, our material is completely water-soluble. As a result, when introduced into the ocean, it dissolves entirely, effectively reducing its concentration to virtually zero.

Common questions answered

Timeplast materials dissolve only when in continuous contact with non-stagnant, freely flowing water.

Unlock the dimension of time in 3-dimensional materials:

  • Timeplast Active: Dissolves in as little as 60 seconds to 1 month.

  • Timeplast Delayed: From 1 month to 12 months.

  • Timeplast Extended: Lasts from 12 month up to 2 years.

  • Timeplast Passive: 2 years and higher.

PVA and timeplast:

Unpacking

the differences

While the concept of water-soluble plastics isn't new, Timeplast's innovative approach distinctly sets it apart from traditional materials like Polyvinyl Alcohol (PVA). PVA, developed in 1924, is predominantly used in niche applications like dishwasher pods due to its inherent limitations. The material begins dissolving upon contact with any moisture and is typically restricted to forming thin films, given that as increasing its thickness compromises its solubility.

Timeplast on the other hand, is able to exist in the presence of water for a predetermined period of time, after which point it will then dissolve.

  • Advanced Material Properties

    Timeplast introduces an innovative ultra-high molecular weight copolymer that can be molded into thick, durable forms without losing its solubility. This key feature enables the material to function like conventional plastics, offering robustness and longevity before naturally dissolving without leaving any residue.

  • Expanded Application Range

    Unlike traditional polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) which is limited to thin films, Timeplast’s technology supports the production of both lightweight films and more substantial, durable products. This expands the potential applications of water-soluble plastics well beyond their previous limitations, catering to a broader range of industrial needs.

  • Innovative Copolymerization Process

    Timeplast has developed a groundbreaking copolymerization process that temporarily alters the hydrophobic properties of polymer chains. This allows the material to initially resist water and then dissolve completely when required, with the timing of this transformation finely tuned to meet specific application needs.

  • Sustainable Material Science

    Timeplast is not merely enhancing water solubility but is redefining the material science. Our globally recognized patents highlight the innovative nature of our formulations, designed meticulously from the molecular level to ensure optimal performance and environmental responsibility. Our commitment to sustainable material solutions is underscored by continuous research and real-world applications that extend the environmental benefits of our products.

  • Timeplast’s Versatile Resin Transforms Manufacturing Beyond PVA Limits

    Unlike PVA, Timeplast isn’t just about substituting one type of plastic with another. It’s about redefining the material’s interaction with the environment. We developed a single type of resin that works seamlessly across different manufacturing processes—extrusion, blowing, and injection—something that PVA cannot achieve. This versatility underscores Timeplast’s unique position in the market.

Why Timeplast?

a type 1 civilization

With Earth looking blue from outer space due to its surface mostly covered in H2O, crowning water as the solvent king should be an incredibly obvious move for a Type 1 Civilization in the Kardashev Scale. It's time to harmonize materials with water solubility as a guiding principle. Timeplast stands positioned to revolutionize the plastic industry with its groundbreaking material that aligns with our planet's Grand Chemistry design - from inception to disposal. Together, let's reinvent the norm, let's tip the scales in favor of a chemically balanced world, and beyond; a chemically balanced civilization.

  • Timeplast is an alcohol-based material.

  • No. Microplastics are pieces that even at nanometric levels are still non-water-soluble.

  • Yes. Our key technological point is the programmability of water resistance in a water soluble material.

“Nature to be commanded

must be obeyed" 

Francis Bacon.

“Timeplast aspires for our entire society to use water-soluble plastics, allowing us to extend the concept of zero plastic waste through Pabyss™ to a societal level. However, this will only occur if most, if not all, wasteful materials are water-soluble, reaffirming water's status as the universal solvent.”
