Bioflex Biodegradable Banners
Sustainable Printing has posted before on Tyvek banners being recyclable, but there is another eco-friendly alterative for large format printing.
Ultraflex has created the first biodegradable PVC banner material and named it Bioflex. While Bioflex still has petroleum in its formula, 80% of it comes from sources other than petroleum.
What makes Bioflex different from other PVC banner materials is its biodegradability. Landfill conditions allow microbes to begin to degrade the Bioflex PVC within a few weeks. Depending on the thickness, the entire banner will be completely degraded within 3-5 years.
Bioflex is perfect for wide format printing such as billboards, vehicle or building wraps or large banners. Check with your large format printer if they offer Bioflex.
