Biodegradability signifies that a product made from organic materials that are able to break down with a combination of external factors such as oxygen, temperature, microorganisms like bacteria, and fungi. When exposed to high temperatures around 300 degrees Fahrenheit, biodegradable products can take a few weeks, months, or years to decompose properly.
Our Paper tubes are made with biodegradable raw materials such as cellulose, polylactic acid (PLA), polycaprolactone (PCL), and polyhydroxy butyrate (PHB), which have been approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
Regular plastic can take hundreds of years to decompose while littered in the streets or packed in growing landfills. Biodegradable paper tubes are another alternative for sustainable packaging; biodegradable cardboard tubes in particular are easy and inexpensive to make, ship, and pack with a wide range of products.
