EcoFilm®, Patented Compostable Film | 33 Gal
Eco Film® II Backyard Compostable is the second generation of Eco Film®. Formulated from TÜV Austria certified ‘OK CompostHome’ resin, Eco Film® II Backyard Compostable takes environmental responsibility to the next level. Instead of sending used bags to the local industrial composting facility as required for commercially compostable films, users of Eco Film® II Backyard Compostable can simply step out the back door and discard Eco Film® II into the backyard compost bin where it will compost into soil amendment for their own gardens.
EcoFilm is a certified compostable film designed to replace traditional nondegradable films such as low density and high density polyethylenes. It also provides superior mechanical properties and stability in comparison to other compostable films on the market. EcoFilm has been certified compostable by both DIN CERTCO and the Biodegradable Products In- stitute per EN 13432 and ASTM D6400 respectively. Unlike some compostable films, EcoFilm is heat and water stable and does not prematurely break down while in use making
it ideally suited for organic waste collection and community composting programs.
The exact time needed for EcoFilm to biodegrade is dependent upon the conditions and activity of the disposal environment (temperature, soil quality, activity of microorganisms). When placed in a typical commercial composting environment, EcoFilm will fully biodegrade into carbon dioxide and water within a matter of weeks. There is no ecotoxicity to
the soil, plants, or microorganisms involved in this process. Since microorganisms are the means for biodegradation, EcoFilm is shelf and curb stable and will retain its integrity until disposed of properly.
EcoFilm is available in a variety of sizes and constructions offering an environmentally friendly alternative for applications ranging from grocery bags to export shipping.
Cortec is a world leader in rust and corrosion removal and protection. Cortec VpCI® products offer cost-effective and environmentally friendly corrosion protection solutions that are bio-degradable, self replenishing and provide multi-metal protection.
