Within the past couple of years Seal & Go investigated and developed a green alternative for its foil. After extensive research and testing the new bio-based foil solution, we are now ready for introduction.
This new bio-based foil offers the same high quality baggage protection as the old Seal & Go foil. You will not notice any quality difference.
Biodegradable foil is different from bio-based foil. Biodegradable foil can be decomposed by bacteria or other living organisms and thereby avoiding pollution. Although that sounds even better, it is important to keep in mind that degradation efficiency depends on specific environmental conditions. Besides, most of the so-called biodegradable plastics are actually not biodegradable but oxo-degradable.
Oxo-degradable plastics initially disintegrate and enter the environment as tiny plastic fragments, which are at the root of the micro-plastics problem the world is currently facing. So, actually it is not fully degradable and therefore even more harmful to the environment.
Besides bio-based, our foil is also 100% recyclable. We ask you to please throw away your used foil in a designated plastic waste bin, so it can be used for recycling.
