About – Recede Bioplastics

Our story

Four decades later

After decades in the commercial landscaping business, Bob is on a mission. And that mission is to reduce the impact of landscaping and agricultural products. It started with a simple premise. What if the packaging is the product? Working with a top United States chemist, Bob has created a patent-pending truly soil and marine biodegradable plastic. It started with mulch bags but has quickly evolved to 10 patented products with more on the way. Bob is out to change the world!

Plastic is not fish food

Disappears in soil

Recede Bioplastic products disappear over time in soil, consumed by hungry microbes.

Disappears in water too!

It’s amazing, even aquatic microbes love Recede Bioplastics. Nom, nom.

Single-use plastic is a one of the biggest problems facing our environment today and consumers are fed up with the lack of solutions from the industry.

Persistent plastic particulate pollution has filled our landfills, rivers, and oceans, contaminating soil and marine environments.

Recede Bioplastics aims to eliminate single-use plastic in consumer and commercial agricultural products. Of course it’s better for the environment, but our products actually make life easier for people and our planet.

Meet Bob Hawkinson

Founder & CEO

After decades of experience in the garden and green industry, Bob Hawkinson realized that the mountains of plastic waste created by the agriculture industry was a problem he could no longer ignore. After years of extensive research, he realized that a truly marine and soil biodegradable plastic didn’t exist. So Bob went to work with the best and brightest in the biodegradable plastic industry and invented his own line of patented products to address this global problem.
