Science of Solon

The Science of Solon

RWDC Industries, creator of Solon™, has developed the technology and process to harvest the outputs of a microbial fermentation process using plant-based oils that produces a naturally occurring biodegradable polymer called PHA.

Solon is 100% Biodegradable

Solon breaks down into harmless substances—carbon dioxide and water—in marine, fresh water and soil conditions.

Solon has all the functional benefits of a petroleum-derived solution, without the devastating environmental or ecological impacts. 

Solon is Certified 

RWDC Industries, creator of Solon, has received internationally recognized biodegradability and compostable certifications for its PHA material from TUV Austria.

The certifications provide third-party verification that Solon will biodegrade in any natural environment. 

Because Solon can biodegrade in any natural environment, it doesn't require commercial composting facilities as other "compostable" plastic alternatives on the market.

Certification was a critical step in proving our value.
