Biodegradable Shrinkwrap Products


Founded in 2023, bioaqualife™ is a pioneering company dedicated to providing innovative sustainable, biodegradable plastic alternatives for use in the marine, construction, agriculture, and packaging industries.

Once placed in landfill conditions, all bioaqualife products attract microbes, and as they are digested, the molecular structure of the material breaks down into soil and natural gases and leaves no microplastics behind.

The bioaqualife™ team is committed to environmental stewardship and creating eco-friendly performance products that will revolutionize the single-use plastic industry.

Marine

Our unique bioWrap™ protects marine vessels that need protection from the elements in the off season and during transportation. The bioWrap™ shrinkwrap is strong, durable, biodegradable, and recyclable.

In the US alone, more than 92 million pounds of shrinkwrap are used for boats, and the majority ends up in community landfills. Since bioWrap™ degrades using microbial consumption, it minimizes environmental contamination.

Construction

Builders and other industries rely on our durable, heavy-duty
but lightweight bioWrap™ is used in construction and
recreational projects.

Applications include enclosures, vapor barriers, temporary liners and covers, containment, and even for recreational events.

Our bioWrap™ is manufactured in the U.S. to meet the needs of any of your applications.

Choose biodegradable bioWrap™!

  • Environmental Impact: Biodegradable shrink wrap decomposes unlike traditional plastic, reducing landfill waste and minimizing pollution. This helps lessen the overall environmental footprint of packaging materials.
  • Sustainable Materials: Most biodegradable shrink wraps are made from renewable resources like cornstarch or other plant-based materials. This shift away from petroleum-based plastics promotes sustainable sourcing and reduces dependence on fossil fuels.
  • Consumer Demand: With increasing awareness of environmental issues, consumers are actively seeking eco-friendly products. Using biodegradable shrink wrap can enhance a brand’s reputation and attract environmentally conscious customers.
  • Compliance and Regulations: Many regions are implementing stricter regulations on single-use plastics and packaging waste. Switching to biodegradable options can help businesses comply with these regulations and avoid potential fines or penalties.

Embracing a Sustainable Future with bioWrap™

Creating a digestible feast for landfill bacteria

At bioaqualife, we are pioneering a revolutionary solution that combines environmental sustainability with uncompromising performance. Our proprietary bioWrap™ products are a game-changer in the realm of eco-friendly alternatives to traditional plastics.

Crafted with a unique formulation that includes a proprietary ingredient, bioaqualife’s bioWrap™ products boast exceptional biodegradability. Remarkably, 3rd party testing is showing our bioWrap™ biodegrade at a rate of 20.8% within just 183 days in landfills, ensuring a cleaner and greener future for generations to come. (ASTM D5511)

But our commitment to sustainability doesn’t stop there. bioWrap™ products are fully recyclable. Our films meet the stringent ASTM E84 Class A ratings for optimal safety and performance. This comprehensive approach to environmental stewardship sets bioaqualife apart as a leader in the pursuit of a sustainable tomorrow.

We understand:

  • Most consumers dispose of their waste (including single-use plastics) in landfills.
  • While we would prefer, there are many issues with recycling of plastics. Primarily due to cost and lack of infrastructure.
  • The vast majority of all shrinkwrap used ends up in landfills.

We offer a logical solution: Biodegradable plastic products!

  • This is for consumers who require the benefits of traditional plastic but are mindful of their impact on the environment.
  • Can be either reusable or recyclable.
  • Biodegrades, unlike conventional plastics. Biodegradation of plastic is achieved by enabling microorganisms to metabolize (i.e. break down) the molecular structure of the plastic, which produces an organic matter which is a natural plant fertilizer and a biogas
  • Will not fragment into microplastics during biodegradation.

Theoretically, any material made up of organic compounds is biodegradable. No matter how long it takes, the carbon-based material will inevitably be oxidized into carbon dioxide and water via microbial respiration.

Biodegradable materials are materials that can be broken down naturally by microorganisms such as bacteria, fungi, and algae. The degradation of these materials occurs in the presence of oxygen to produce water, carbon dioxide, minerals, and new biomass over time.

However, it is also possible for these materials to be biodegraded by anaerobic bacteria (in the absence of oxygen).

Compostable materials, like biodegradable materials, are broken down by microorganisms but with a key difference: The broken-down matter must enhance the nutritious quality of the soil without introducing any toxicity.

Also, this entire process must take place within 12 weeks for a material to be considered compostable. Commercially produced compostable products (such as the compostable cutlery, cups and plates used by many restaurants) need to be sent to an industrial composting facility in order to biodegrade, where adequate conditions (such as temperature, humidity, etc.) are maintained.

They will not break down in a home compost pile or a landfill.

Degradation is a decomposition process that terminates in the fragmentation of plastics under the conditions of heat, sunlight, and moisture, resulting in the weakening of the plastic’s physical structure.

So-called «oxo» degradables are in this category. The end product is many microscopic particles that are even more problematic than before degradation as they may find their way into the diet of animal life and influence the food chain.

Many experts have suggested that degradable plastics do not solve any problem but instead push the problem into the future, with the production of microplastics. The European Union has banned these plastics for just this reason.We do not use or support oxo-degradable/fragmentable additives.

Yes, our products are truly biodegradable in a landfill environment – where 91% of all plastic waste will end up. Our proprietary organic additive target microorganisms capable of processing petroleum molecules. It has been tested using ASTM D5511 standards to ensure our plastics are truly biodegrade in a landfill.

We use an organic enzyme to attract naturally occurring anaerobic bacteria in the landfill to digest the enzymes and break down the large plastic polymer molecules into smaller organic molecules that the bacteria then recognize as food. They then digest these smaller molecules and continue the process until the plastic is fully biodegraded.

Yes. With so many manufacturers and retailers offering ‘green’ products, it has become confusing to distinguish between what is a genuine biodegradable product, what is a compostable product, what is a degradable product, and what are unsubstantiated claims. We have ASTM and BMP tests, which are recognized internationally as being the benchmark of verifications. The ASTM D5511 is a test performed by an independent laboratory that measures the carbon released from the plastic as a biogas to verify claims of biodegradability in anaerobic conditions, intending to replicate conditions found in a typical landfill.

No. There is no toxic residue when the biodegradable plastic decomposes. Plastic such as polyethylene break down to CH4, C02 and organic matter.

No. It has no shelf life or expiry dates and will only biodegrade when disposed of in a landfill.

No. biodegradable plastics will biodegrade when buried in soil and require no light or oxygen.

Yes. We have had our product tested and approved by a leading recycling company.
