Inditex-a fasion distribution group

that is among the most important in the world. Its main characteristics are customer orientation and vertical integration that deals with all phases of the fashion business from design up to sales in its own stores including manufacture and logistics. In 2007, its sales stood at 9.435 billion euros, 15%  more than the previous year. Its net profit grew by 25%, up to 1.25 billion euros. The Inditex group is comprised of seven commercial formats.

Sustainable Inditex- ‘d2w’ plastic bags

The sustainable store is one of the most important projects that Inditex has initiated. It is not only important that the store is a key element in the Inditex business model but also that it involves the customer by including their participation in the company’s commitment to the environment.

Tha measures incorporated into this project in 2007 have culminated in a qualitative advances for Inditex. From this financial year on, the plastic bags ditributed in the Group’s stores will be made with ‘d2w’. These bags contain an additive that makes them degradable, accelerating the total decomposition process in a natural way over an average period of one to two years as opposed to more than 400 for conventional plastic. The initiative has also been extended to other parts of the company, such as the internal magazine that incorporated the ‘d2w’ additives in it packaging.

ADVANTAGES OF DEGRADABLE PLASTIC

-It reduces the degradation time.
-It turns into water, carbondioxide and biomass.
-It doesn’t need to be buried to biodegrade.
-It needs less raw materials for its production.
-It retains the properties of conventional plastic like being resistant and waterprood.

All the plastic bags used in Inditex chains bear the ‘d2w’ certification stamp. During the 2008 financial year, the Group’s aim is to introduce the use to certified ecological paper to the paper bags.

What is d2w®?

d2w® is a low cost additive for polyethylene and polypropylene which causes the plastic to break down into a biodegradable form (the long plastic chains break down into shorter chains which can then be accessed by micro organisms which break them down to carbon dioxide and water.

Every 1Kg of d2w® additive to produce degradable plastics, you save 0.206 tons carbon footprint.

Ocean Issue-A Gutful of Plastic

A Gutful of Plastic!
If all plastics are made degradable, marine lives can save more.

Floating rubbish, such as plastic, can be easily swallowed, and since it cannot be digested or passed, it stays in the whale. Plastic in the gut can prevent the animal from digesting its food and may lead to death.

In August 2000, an 8 metre Bryde s (pronounced broodas ) whale stranded close to central Cairns in north Queensland. It died soon after. An autopsy found that the whale s stomach was tightly packed with plastic – almost 6 square metres of it! The whale had swallowed supermarket bags, food packaging, three large sheets of plastic 2 metres long and fragments of garbage bags.

Please be careful with your rubbish

A plastic bag dropped in the street washes into stormwater drains which empty into the ocean. If you see plastic in the street, don t let it become whale food – pick it up!

THE d2w BRAND  THE BRAND THAT YOU CAN TRUST!

Look for the d2w brand. It represents several million pounds of investment, and years of careful research by some of the world’s best scientists and technicians, together with firstclass quality-control and after-sales service. The d2w brand can be found on many different products and householdname goods throughout the world.

Plastic is a fundamental part of our busy lives. Not many people know that plastic is made from a by-product of oil which used to be wasted and that it makes good environmental sense to use it. Ordinary plastics can be re-used and recycled – however if they get into the environment they can last for many decades. The solution is to add d2w® additive when the plastic product is being manufactured – making it “oxo-biodegradable” or “oxo-bio” for short.

Oxo-bio plastic will degrade, then biodegrade, to water, CO2, biomass and traceelements, on land or sea, in the light or dark, in heat or cold, in whatever timescale is required. It leaves NO fragments NO methane and NO harmful residues. There is little or no extra cost and during its service-life strength and other qualities are the
same as ordinary plastic.

d2w® is a low-cost insurance against the accumulation of plastic waste in the environment.

How does it work?

The additive lowers the molecular weight, causing the plastic to degrade, then biodegrade. Stabilisers control the service life. For example, a refuse sack might need an 18-month life before beginning to lose its strength but a bread-bag might only require a few months. Significantly, d2w® oxo-biodegradable plastics do not need a highly-microbial environment to degrade – this will happen even if the plastic is left in the open air or in the sea! For this reason in particular, ‘oxo-bio’ plastic is preferable to ‘hydro-degradable’ e.g. starch-based plastic, which requires an active bio-environment before degradation will work.

DUSIT HOTEL

• Oxo-biodegradable bags degrade completely – regardless of location or environmental conditions, and have a pre-programmed lifespan. They are injected with a small amount of an additive called d2w.

• The additive creates a chemical reaction whereby the additive attacks the carbon-carbon bonds in the material. This leads to a lowering of the molecular weight and eventually to a loss of strength and other properties.

• Unlike normal plastic bags, which take around 1,000 years to biodegrade, oxo-biodegradable carriers disintegrate into nothing more than water, carbon dioxide and a very small amount of biomass.

Available Product Application For Hotels

• Oxo-Biodegradable Garment Bags (PE)
• Oxo-Biodegradable Laundry Bags (PE or non-woven)
• Oxo-Biodegradable Aprons (PE)
• Oxo-Biodegradable Bin Liners (PE)
