TECHNOLOGY & RESEARCH - No Polymers. No Microplastics.

Built Without the Baggage

PED coatings were engineered from the start to solve real problems—without creating new ones.

While most controlled-release and binder technologies rely on synthetic polymers, plastic shells, or petroleum-based carriers, PED delivers protection and timing with:

✅ zero microplastics
✅ zero synthetic residues
✅ zero regulatory baggage

Plastic-free by design. Not retrofit.

The Industry’s Dirty Secret: Plastic Coatings

CRFs, polymer-coated seeds, and synthetic spray stickers all have one thing in common: They leave plastic behind. Most are made with:

Polyethylene

Polyacrylate

Polyurethane

Formaldehyde cross-linkers

Oil-based binders

These materials don’t fully degrade in soil and are increasingly under scrutiny for contributing to agricultural microplastics.

The Regulatory Shift Is Already Here

Region	Change
European Union	Ban on non-biodegradable polymer coatings by 2028
California	Restrictions tightening on synthetic inputs and residues
Global Brands	Pressure from buyers for plastic-free supply chains

PED coatings are already compliant—because they were built to be.

What We Use Instead

PED coatings are:

No plastic polymers. No plasticizers. No “bioplastic” greenwashing. Just real coatings built to degrade clean.

Microplastic-Free Across All Inputs

One platform. Four real-world use cases:

Input Type	PED Platform Microplastic Status
Fertilizer	✅ 100% microplastic-free coating
Seed	✅ Organic-compliant, no polymer use
Biologicals	✅ Inert and degradable, no coating residue
Pesticides	✅ Dry-applied, zero synthetic carriers

Why It Matters

Cleaner compliance for organic and regenerative programs. Future-proofed products for global markets. Better alignment with food safety and ESG targets. No unintended soil accumulation or long-term buildup. No tradeoff between performance and responsibility
