Dubai, UAE (October 22, 2013) – EcoPoly Solutions Inc. is pleased to announce they have entered into an agreement with Kaukawala General Trading FZC as distributor of their Oxo-biodegradable additives in the UAE. In April, 2013 EcoPoly Solutions was the proud recipient of a certificate of conformity by the Emirates Authority for Standardization and Metrology (ESMA). The certificate is for compliance to Standard UAE S. 5009:2009 -Standard & Specification for Oxo-Biodegradation of Plastic Bags and Other Disposable Plastic Objects-. This approval allowed EcoPoly Solutions to supply their OxoElite line Oxo-biodegradable additives in the United Arab Emirates and use the prescribed symbols by ESMA to mark the products as being oxo-biodegradable.
In October 2009, the UAE commenced a progressive ban on plastic bags and other plastic products that are not Oxo-biodegradable. Products within the scope of this ban, whether locally produced or imported, require them to be produced or distributed by a supplier certified by ESMA. EcoPoly Solutions Director of Sales, Stephen Arsenault, said -We are excited by the opportunity to work with Kaukawala as our distributor and look forward to continued supply of our quality degradable raw materials to the UAE market. We have all of the confidence Kaukawala will work within their market with great diligence, integrity and along with EcoPoly Solutions support will be a valuable resource for their customers.-
