WORLD’S FIRST FULLY BIODEGRADABLE BOOK COVERING
Some libraries have taken the step to ban single use plastics, which includes protective book covering. By removing plastic book coverings, the life of each book is greatly reduced. More books are sent to landfill.
Bioguard80® is the world’s first fully biodegradable book covering that when placed in the right landfill or compostable environment, will fully biodegrade without leaving toxic microplastics.These environments contain the right mix of moisture, micro-organisms and temperatures that triggers biodegradation.
Bioguard80® has been tested and will not biodegrade while on display.Feel the difference.The active biodegradable ingredient can produce a slight texture in Bioguard80®. There is no loss of clarity or reduction in protection. In a way, it helps users feel the difference and know which books are covered with fully biodegradable book covering.This is a very small payoff for the huge environmental benefits Bioguard80® provides.
Bioguard80® is fully recyclable, as is the backing paper. At the end of life, the whole book can be placed into your recycling bin or into compost or landfill for full biodegradation.
