“U.S. manufacturer of landfill-biodegradable shrink wrap (bioWRAP®) and accessories for marine, construction and industrial protection, independently tested to ASTM D5511.”
“Yes, in landfill conditions. In independent testing to ASTM D5511 — the standard method for anaerobic biodegradation under high-solids conditions that simulate a biologically active landfill — bioWRAP® reached 78.8% biodegradation in 1,067 days. Actual rates in a landfill vary with moisture, temperature and microbial activity. bioWRAP® is not compostable and is not designed to break down in open air.”
“Yes. The full third-party ASTM D5511 laboratory report is published on our ASTM D5511 test results page as a PDF, together with a plain-language summary of the method, timeline and results. We publish the complete report so buyers, boatyards and regulators can verify the claim themselves.”
“No. bioWRAP® biodegrades only in the oxygen-free, microbe-rich environment of a landfill. During normal use — on a boat, a building or equipment through a winter season — it works as a protective shrink wrap. Learn why bioWRAP® does not biodegrade in the air.”
“Our choice of color was intentional. The light green color of our film is part of our brand. We feel it's important that our film stands out, that people recognize it for end-of-life disposal, and that they recognize they are dealing with a biodegradable film.”
“We understand that natural lighting is essential for boat painting and refinishing, where accurate color perception and visibility are critical. To address this concern, we have reduced the opacity of our film, allowing more natural light to pass through while minimizing the green hue of the filtered light.”
“We do not claim that the zipper itself is biodegradable. The door panel is manufactured from our bioWRAP® landfill-biodegradable film, while the zipper is designed for durability and repeated use.”
“bioWRAP® shrinks the same way. Becomes tougher and more durable once it has been shrunk. It’s no more flammable than traditional wrap.”
“The natural light provided by bioWRAP® would be equivalent to the conventional white shrink wrap.”
