Yes! The puncture resistance, tensile strength and air permeability of Opus Bio film is virtually identical to non-degradable plastics. Opus Bio Film is biodegradable.
Opus Bio film reduces plastic pollution and the volume of plastic going to landfill. When disposed of, Opus Bio film will biodegrade within 12 to 24 months leaving no toxic residue. Conventional plastics will remain in the environment for decades, often as litter or filling up ever-decreasing landfill reserves.
The film uses special additives that start to degrade the material without impacting the integrity of the film. Once disposed of, the film will undergo oxidative degradation. The molecular structure of the film is altered. Enabling the material to totally degrade in the presence of moisture, micro-organisms and oxygen.
Opus Bio air cushions can be recycled in the existing plastic waste stream. The cushions can also be recycled in home or commercial composting facilities, although we do not claim compostability for the material under EN13432.
