How does it work?

biowrap* technology is based on the use of an additive produced by EPI which is combined with any blend of polyethylene or polypropylene resins during the standard production process usually at a level below 4%. At such low levels of inclusion, the impact of the additive is therefore negligible and the finished product retains all the dynamic qualities of standard plastics including strength, clarity, sealability, permeability and print. 

The degradation process commences with any combination of heat, light and stresses acting as catalysts and affecting the speed with which it progresses.

One of the unique acpets of biowrap* is the controllable nature of the degradation process. The timescale of degradation and its initiation can be controlled according to the planned use of the wrap. This means that biowrap* will retain all their required properties for the planned useful life of the product and the effects of the degradation process will only become evident some time after that useful life is complete.
