Controlled degradation films can be designed for either landfill disposal, or for composting.
The additive package in these films may be tailored such that a prolonged storage and service life may be stipulated - allowing any degradable material contained therein to be exposed to microbial activity, and then followed by a defined time to final degradation (1-5 years) thereafter.
Products which can be modified for such landfill degradations include most familiar packaging films and bags - such as multi-use carrier bags, and especially those bags designed to end up in a landfill, i.e. refuse sacks. The mechanical and optical properties of the films are not affected.
These film types are fully compliant with all eco-toxicity standards.
