The bioWRAP® Advantage
To ensure the bioaqualife® product line meets the highest standards of reliability in challenging operational conditions, our range has been rigorously evaluated against international criteria for biodegradation and fire safety. This comprehensive testing ensures you benefit from significant environmental improvements without sacrificing the dependable performance required for professional use.
Key Certifications
Biodegradation
bioWRAP® is tested under ASTM D5511, the U.S. standard for anaerobic landfill biodegradation. Unlike conventional wraps that create microplastics, this material breaks down through microbial activity in oxygen-free conditions. International equivalents include ISO 15985 and European EN standards.
Multi-Year Landfill Biodegradation Testing
| Testing laboratory | Eden Research Laboratory, Albuquerque, NM (independent, third-party) |
| Test method | ASTM D5511 (anaerobic biodegradation, simulated landfill conditions) |
| Test duration to date | 1,130 days (just over 3 years) |
| Result to date | 80.2% biodegradation, ASTM D5511 |
| Latest update | August 14, 2026 |
bioWRAP® has been under continuous ASTM D5511 landfill biodegradation testing for over three years, with results updated as the study progresses. This isn’t a one-time lab measurement, it’s an ongoing record: each update reflects cumulative biodegradation at that point in the test, not a final or projected outcome.
Landfill conditions vary by site, so no single timeframe applies universally. What this testing record documents is the verified, dated study itself, available in full for review, rather than a fixed promise about any specific disposal environment.
Fire Retardancy
Our films meet strict safety requirements for industrial and marine use:
-
USA: ASTM E84 Class A Rating for low flame spread.
-
Europe: EN 13501-1:2018 Fire Classification compliance.
The bioaqualife® Advantage
These certifications prove that bioaqualife® products provide the same high performance as traditional shrink wrap while ensuring fire safety and verified environmental breakdown. They integrate seamlessly into existing workflows with no special handling required, just certified, sustainable performance.
