It\u2019s a proven fact: the biodegradability of Walki\u2019s Bioska films are among the fastest on the market. The Finnish environment Institute (SYKE) has conducted studies to measure the biodegradability of bio-based and biodegradable plastics. Walki Plastiroll\u00b4s Bioska films were one of those plastics that had the fastest biodegradability.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Biodegradable plastics material is considered a vital solution in the fight against plastic trash in our oceans, but there has been little research on how biodegradable packaging materials actually behave in marine conditions.<\/p>\n

Within the year-long Ubinam project, SYKE studied a variety of different biodegradable films and materials both in field and laboratory tests. Within these studies, SYKE investigated Walki\u2019s new transparent packaging films called Bioska 501 and Bioska+. Samples of the material were placed in the Baltic Sea on the southwest coast of Finland for 6 respectively 12 months. The study found that the Bioska films had the fastest biodegradability: there was nothing left of the materials already after 6 months.<\/p>\n

A further laboratory test confirmed the results. The same materials were studied in a one-month long laboratory trial. The findings were in line with the sea tests: the materials biodegraded rapidly.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese results are very encouraging as EU is challenging conventional plastic with several new directives, including plastic product bans, some coming into force already 2020 Jani Avellan, R&D Director, Innovations.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are well prepared to help our customers chose more sustainable alternatives. Our Bioska 501 and Bioska + films are based on natural polymers by plants and bacteria. The fact that the material is also very thin contributes to their fast biodegradability\u201d, concludes Avellan.<\/p>\n
