What happens if NatureFlex ™ film ends up in landfill?
This film is designed to be disposed of by composting - either at home or in an industrial composter. The good news is that if it does end up in landfill, it won't release anything environmentally harmful into the soil or environment (including methane). However, its not the ideal way to dispose of it and there is no timeframe for it to break down as it will depend on the conditions present.
What happens if NatureFlex ™ film ends up in the sea?
NatureFlex ™was tested to and passed the ASTM D7081 standard. This standard demands 30% biodegradation in 30 days in seawater, which was achieved. This standard is currently ‘dormant’ pending future new standards. The film manufacturer believes that NatureFlex's ™ biodegradation in such an environment would be roughly linear (i.e. expect 50% biodegradation in 50 days, etc…) It also fully passes the physical disintegration tests of the standard and also passes the marine-ecotoxicity tests.
