Biodegradable Ties
Intended for applications were cable ties may end up lost or discarded in the environment, our biodegradable range includes both waste-reducing and renewable-resource rapstraps.
Made from instrinsically biodegradable polymers, these rapstrap tie strips are designed to slowly break down in the natural environment under ambient conditions. Degradation speed depends on environmental conditions, but significant degradation can usually seen within one year of soil burial.
Our general-purpose BIO23 rapstrap i-Ties are made from a starch-polyester blend that biodegrades well in terrestrial environments.
For more rapid disposal, our water dispersible i-Ties are made from 88% hydrolysed poly vinyl alcohol (PVA/PVOH), a component of glue, and commonly used in paper & card production. This transluscent polymer will dissolve in cold water in just a few hours, and within seconds in hot water.
