We have been using biodegradable polythene on our polywrap line for years. This means that if the polythene ends up in landfill or in a compost bin it will bio degrade within 12 months.
It costs us more to use this, and we’ve had to absorb this extra cost, but at least we know that everything that we mail that we produce can be recycled or composted. Our address carrier sheets carry this logo:
We haven’t publicised this very widely but years after we started using bio-degradable polythene many of our customers now insist on it.
