Adhesive strip is non-releasable for tamper evidence
150 gauge / 37.5 micron clear polythene with a Biodegradable additive
Ideal for posting A4 sized documents, magazines, catalogues and brochures
These bags are eco-friendly, as they have an additive which means they will break down in landfill into carbon dioxide, water, biomass and minerals, but they can also be recycled along with normal polythene film
The length of time they will take to biodegrade depends on the conditions and the presence of oxygen, moisture, heat, mechanical stress and/or microbes but will be roughly 6 to 12 months, as opposed to decades or longer for standard polythene buried in landfill
Due to the biodegradable nature of these bags they shouldn't be stored in direct sunlight, or too warm conditions (not near a radiator). If they are kept in the right conditions their shelf life is approx 24 months
