BX-Bio

BX-Bio

Biodegradable POF Shrink Film
BX-Bio is a Polyolefin Shrink Film which is made with special patented additives to make the film biodegradable complying to relevant industry standards that allows the film to break down in natural conditions after 2-3 years, as confirmed by the supplier of additives and evidenced in the reports by various international laboratories.

About BX-Bio

Key Features

  • Biodegradable
  • Earth-Friendly and Sustainable
  • Similar Aesthetic to Traditional Plastics

Key Benefits

  • Reduced Environmental Impact: Biodegradable POF shrink film is environmentally conscious. It is made from plant-based biopolymers, which break down naturally into plant-based byproducts. Unlike traditional plastics, which can take over a thousand years to decompose, biodegradable films contribute to a healthier planet and can decompose within 2-3 years naturally.
  • Cost-Effective and Versatile: Despite being eco-friendly, biodegradable POF shrink film remains cost-effective. Its compatibility with existing packaging equipment simplifies adoption, allowing businesses to transition smoothly.
  • Enhanced Product Presentation: Biodegradable POF shrink film offers high clarity and gloss, making your packaged items visually appealing. Whether it’s food, cosmetics, or other products, this film ensures they look their best on store shelves

Available As

BX-Bio is available in various formats and can be customized to specific requirements. Additionally, it can be printed and/ or hot-perforated if needed. It is available in both cross-linked and non-linked variants.

Sustainability

  • Replacing Harmful PVC Films: The POF Shrink Film from Bagla Group serves as a highly functional and chemically inert alternative to traditional PVC shrink film. PVC films contain chloride, a toxic substance. During manufacturing, they emit corrosive fumes and degrade into harmful components when discarded. Forward-thinking companies have committed to eliminating PVC from their packaging.
  • Optimized Packaging Efficiency: Thanks to its inherent properties, POF Shrink Films can operate at lower thicknesses, resulting in reduced plastic consumption. Additionally, their balanced shrinkage ensures a snug package wrap, minimizing space requirements during transportation and lowering fuel consumption.
  • Minimizing Landfill Waste: Bagla’s manufacturing processes prioritize recycling and internal reuse, effectively achieving zero waste sent to landfills.
  • Sustainable Packaging Choices: All packaging cores and boxes are crafted from 100% post-consumer recycled paper. Furthermore, the core plugs are fully recyclable.
  • Recycled Content Specifications: The film can be supplied with a plastic tax-avoiding 30%+ post-industrial waste recycled content. Rigorous certification ensures traceability throughout the entire regranulation process, without compromising performance or appearance.
  • Full Recyclability: The film is classified at LDPE level 4 and is a BO-PE mono-material, simplifying recycling. Additionally, it offers the option to include recycled content in the blend.

Additional Info

BX-Bio decomposes in the presence of bacteria and other microorganisms under natural conditions, producing water, CO2 and biomass. It is designed to return safely to the environment so it should be the preferred choice for anyone looking to 'go green'

It is made from a combination of:

  • POLYPROPYLENE 30 to 45%
  • POLYETHYLENE 50 to 65%
  • Other Additives: 5%

Polypropylene and Polyethylene come from the petrochemical industry and are what your shopping bags and many other common household single-use plastics are made from. So this isn’t an ideal start, if the mix were 100% made from those first two petrochemicals, we’d simply have a normal plastic that could persist for up to 500 years in the environment.

But, BX-Bio is very different. It contains an additive that turns a normally environmentally persistent plastic into one that biodegrades harmlessly in record time (2 – 3 years) and breaks down into harmless component elements and biomass, instead of toxic micropollutants.
