Biothene - another trade name for the same thing?
In pursuit of a “green” polythene for use in Direct Mail I have now come across Biothene. It would seem to be a trade mark of another option on perhaps the same theme of material which degrades faster - subject to how waste is treated.
The Manufacters quote “Biothene starts to degrade upon exposure to UVlight/sunshine, and this process can be accelerated by heat. Once the material has been reduced to small particles these then degrade biologically into non-toxic residue within approximately 12 months”
The debate continues……… Sally Hollis
