Nassimi has announced the launch of Hyphyn™, a groundbreaking performance vinyl engineered to biodegrade in landfill conditions without generating microplastics, PFAS, or toxic residues. Developed over six years, Hyphyn™ made its official debut at NeoCon 2025 in Chicago, June 9–11.

Designed to meet demanding commercial standards while tackling vinyl’s environmental footprint, Hyphyn™ features a patented enzyme system and proprietary resin formulation that enable over 90% biodegradation within 24 months in simulated landfill conditions.

“True innovation isn’t just about creating something new; it’s about rethinking what’s possible,” said Iwan Nassimi, Executive Vice President of Nassimi. “Hyphyn™ reimagines vinyl’s lifecycle, offering the performance the industry relies on while solving the long-term environmental impact challenges no other vinyl has addressed.”

Performance Meets Sustainability

Intended for high-traffic sectors such as healthcare, hospitality, education, and retail, Hyphyn™ retains the durability, cleanability, and ease of maintenance of conventional vinyl while decomposing into inert gases when disposed of in landfills. These gases can then be captured and converted into energy. The product is also engineered to incinerate cleanly, producing no dioxins, one of the most harmful byproducts of traditional vinyl combustion.

Extensive Third-Party Validation

Hyphyn™ has undergone rigorous, five-part independent testing to substantiate its claims:

·       Material Safety: Verified free of heavy metals, PFAS, formaldehyde, and compliant with Prop 65, RoHS, and REACH standards.

·       Biodegradation: Achieved over 90% degradation within 24 months under landfill-simulated conditions.

·       Post-Biodegradation Soil Testing: No detectable release of over 1,000 monitored toxic substances.

·       Soil Health: Demonstrated 100% seed germination in Hyphyn-treated soil, outperforming conventional vinyl controls.

·       Indoor Air Quality: Certified for low VOC emissions.

“Hyphyn™ isn’t just about where a material begins or how it performs, it’s about where its journey ends,” Nassimi emphasized.
