New Eco Works ESD Film Now Safe and Compostable
Cortec Corporation has introduced a new Eco Works ESD, available from Croatian bioplastics plant.
Eco Works ESD Film made from renewable raw materials disintegrate into carbon dioxide and water within months in a commercial composting environment.
EcoCortec. Green Eco Works ESD proprietary technology is a range of formulations that encompasses, environmentally safe and dissipating features. These formulations can be customized to customer’s precise needs.
Designed with the environment in mind, Eco Works ESD contains renewable raw materials ranging from 5 – 45%, depending on the formulation as well as anti-static properties, which reduce or eliminate static buildup. Designed to replace traditional low-density and high-density films, Eco Works ESD is suitable for industrial uses.
All Eco Works ESD formulations are certified compostable per ASTM D6400 and EN 13432 and by Biodegradable Products Institute with BPI/USCC logo. The exact time needed for Eco Works ESD products to biodegrade is dependent upon the conditions and activity of the disposal environment (temperature, soil quality, the activity of microorganisms).
When placed in a typical commercial composting environment, Eco Works ESD films will fully biodegrade into carbon dioxide and water within a matter of weeks. There is no eco-toxicity to the soil, plants or microorganisms involved in this process.
Since microorganisms are the means for biodegradation, Eco Works ESD is a shelf and curb stable and will retain its integrity until disposed of properly. Eco Works ESD films can be curtailed to meet the requirements of your application ranging from flexible to rigid films.
