Biodegradable: Bio Banner
If you have an event and you just want to use a Flag or a Banner for just a couple of times!
This is the answer for you.
A Biodegradable Banner, which will last you for a few events and when you don’t need it anymore, just put it in the rubbish.
The Banner will then decompose itself completely over the next few weeks.
A PVC Banner will take much long to decompose, and with a lot more harmful side effects.
An added benefit from using the Bio Banner instead of the PVC banner wound be the reduction of toxins which are present in the work environment while in use.
In some countries PVC is band as a Display Product.
Eco Friendly BIOFlex Banner Material
Bio banner is the first biodegradable vinyl banner material. The Manufacturers have been searching for the most efficient way to make PVC recyclable, with millions of printed sign faces which will never degrade sitting in landfills worldwide.
These efforts have been fruitful in relation to creating recyclable products. In order for the entire recycling process to succeed, however, it is necessary to pay the increasingly expensive trucking costs to transport the discarded signs to the limited recycling locations that can actually reuse the PVC.
A new formula for biodegradable PVC. When exposed to conditions in a landfill (darkness, high heat and moisture).
A “green” indoor and outdoor advertising product.
But if you are still not convinced have a look at the Certified Test results.
Certified Testing
In an ISO 13641 study by an independent testing laboratory, addition of BIOflexTM to a landfill not only did not inhibit, but actually increased the level of biological activity.
This ISO test is designed to ensure that materials added to a landfill do not release toxic substances. BIOflex begins to degrade in the landfill within a few weeks and depending on thickness and quantity added, the PVC will vanish in 3 to 5 years.
It should be noted that landfills can be managed by control of temperature and moisture content so as to increase the level of biological activity.
The Woods End ASTM D5526 data show that the ratio of the fraction of organic carbon and hydrogen from BIOflex released to the air, and the fraction delivered to the solid biomass varies with landfill conditions, such as temperature and water content.
The fraction released to the air is mostly methane, which can be harvested for fuel, along with the methane released by other components of the landfill, such as paper. Variability in the ratio of end product to the air and to the biomass is also typical of ther land-filled materials, such as paper.
BIOflex has been tested for field performance including strength and weathering in the above tests as well as exposure to 2000 hours of laboratory UV, which BIOflex showed no signs of discoloration.
