At the same time, they are fully recyclable with standard polyethylene materials, offering manufacturers a cost-effective, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.packagingstrategies.com\/topics\/2678-sustainable-packaging\" id=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">sustainable packaging<\/a> solution that doesn\u2019t sacrifice performance.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>This breakthrough represents a major step forward in sustainable packaging, offering manufacturers and shippers a high-performance, eco-conscious alternative to traditional polyethylene (PE) films, which can take hundreds of years to decompose.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re excited to offer a game-changing solution that supports our customers\u2019 sustainability goals without compromising product performance,\u201d said Martin Simpson, President &amp; CEO at Daubert Cromwell. \u201cWith BioNatur\u00ae, we\u2019re helping reduce the long-term environmental impact of corrosion protection packaging.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<h4>Key Benefits of Daubert VCI Films with BioNatur\u00ae\u00a0<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>100% Landfill Biodegradable: Biodegrades in landfill environments within 8\u201312 years<\/li>\n<li>No Microplastics: Biodegrades completely into soil, gases and water<\/li>\n<li>100% Recyclable: Can be recycled with other polyethylene products with no restrictions or separation required<\/li>\n<li>Trusted Performance: Maintains the same strength and provides the same corrosion protection as standard Daubert VCI films<\/li>\n<li>Landfill-Ready: Designed for real world disposal scenarios \u2013where the vast majority of spent plastics (up to 95% and 98% of packaging waste) typically end up<\/li>\n<li>No Special Composting Required: Biodegrades naturally in anaerobic (oxygen-deprived) conditions that exist in a landfill, where bacteria will digest it<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>Tested, Proven, and Industry-Ready\u00a0<\/h4>\n<p>Thanks to proprietary BioNatur\u00ae additives, Daubert\u2019s polyethylene films are transformed into a digestible food source for microbes found in landfills. These microbes break the plastic down completely\u2014unlike oxo-degradable plastics, which only fragment into microplastics.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSide-by-side testing confirmed that our BioNatur\u00ae films deliver the same physical strength and corrosion protection as our conventional VCI films,\u201d said Dr. Jonathan Brekan, Vice President of Technology at Daubert Cromwell. \u201cIt\u2019s a solution that performs where it matters\u2014on the job and in the environment.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<h4>Seamless Transition, Global Availability\u00a0<\/h4>\n<p>Daubert VCI Films with BioNatur\u00ae are now available worldwide and can be produced using any of Daubert Cromwell\u2019s proprietary VCI chemistries, including industry-trusted Premium Metal-Guard\u00ae and Clear Pak\u00ae film lines.<\/p>\n<p>These biodegradable films are also available in recycled-content versions, such as:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Clear Pak\u00ae RC<\/li>\n<li>Premium Metal-Guard\u00ae RC\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Both contain over 30% recycled material and are also fully biodegradable\u2014providing a double win for sustainability-focused operations.<\/p>\n<p>With this launch, Daubert Cromwell empowers industries to make more environmentally responsible packaging decisions without compromising quality or effectiveness. Whether used VCI Films or bags are sent to a landfill or sent for recycling, users can be confident they are doing the right thing for the environment.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur new biodegradable VCI films help companies meet sustainability targets with low environmental impact and high recyclability\u2014all without sacrificing performance,\u201d stated Simpson. \u201cWe\u2019re proud to introduce a product that is good for the environment and advances the protective packaging industry.
