The introduction of EnviroBubble has revolutionised the way we think about the use and disposal of plastic products.

EnviroBubble has a controlled shelf life of a minimum of 12 months as the TDPA additives are added at a controlled rate to monitor and control the useable life of the product and allowing the bags to degrade at a specific rate.

EnviroBubble is available in bubble wrap rolls, void fill, bubble bags, loose or perforated sheets and EnviroProtecta Bags – the world's first totally degradable padded mailer bags

EnviroBubble: Trialed and Tested Product

Before its release in May 2005, all the necessary steps were taken to ensure  superior quality of this environmentally innovative bubble wrap product.

This photograph illustrates the remarkable difference between a control sample  without TDPA and EnviroBubble that was independently tested over 12 weeks exposure in a simulated environment.

How Does EnviroBubble Work?

Step 1 – TDPA (Totally degradable plastic additives) are blended into the resins during production.

Step 2 – Mechanisms that trigger this process of oxidative degradation are heat input and sunlight (UV light).

Step 3 – These products will break down in the presence of moisture, micro-organisms, oxygen and soil.

Additive is at a controlled level and at a rate where we can control the useable life of the product.
