USE and DEGRADABILITY

Despite their inherent biodegradability, the films are completely stable and do not break under normal conditions of use, ensuring an indefinite shelf life as their physical-mechanical properties are not compromised over time. Just like paper.
Degradation occurs only in a specific warm, humid environment in the presence of bacteria, through a process in which microorganisms attack and degrade the organic matter contained in the film’s raw materials.
