Walki films demonstrate 'rapid biodegradabiiity' in SYKE studies

摘要

A Series of new studies has reportedly shown that Walki's Bioska films completely biodegrade within 6 months. The studies, carried out by the Finnish Environment Institute (SYKE), measured the biodegradabiiity of bio-based and biodegradable plastics. Walki Plastiroll's Bioska films were found to be one of the plastics that had the fastest biodegradability. Within the year-long Ubinam project, SYKE studied a variety of different biodegradable films and materials both in field and laboratory tests. Within these studies, SYKE investigated Walki's new transparent packaging films: Bioska 501 and Bioska+. Samples of the material were placed in the Baltic Sea on the southwest coast of Finland for 6 and 12 months respectively. The study reportedly found that the Bioska films had the fastest biodegradability: there was nothing left of the materials after 6 months.
