Plastic reagent and process

Methods for improving the degradability of synthetic resins and/or synthetic resin mixtures and reducing the toxicity associated with the degradation process are disclosed herein with one such method involving the determination of a desired product lifespan and based on such lifespan, producing a mixture of a compatible degradation salt with a first compatible resin based on an algorithm, pre-mixing the compatible degradation inducing salt with the first synthetic resin to create a pre-mixed batch, and adding the pre-mixed batch to a second synthetic resin to create a master batch from which products may be manufactured with a known degradation timeline.
