Biodegradable Twist Ties: Aiding Environmental Protection

Biodegradable twist ties are eco-friendly products whose main function is to be decomposed by microorganisms in natural environments, thereby reducing environmental pollution.


Characteristics of Biodegradable Twist Ties


Primarily using plant-sourced polylactic acid (PLA) as the main raw material, these ties are less dependent on depleting resources compared to petroleum-based plastics. Therefore, they are environmentally-friendly products that contribute to forming a circular society.


When processed in suitable environments such as composting, the material undergoes hydrolysis under the influence of temperature and humidity and then biodegradation occurs due to microbial action, ultimately decomposing almost entirely into water and carbon dioxide.


Improved weather resistance allows for outdoor use. The weather resistance level of biodegradable twist ties has been maintained to match that of standard weather-resistant cable ties, enabling them to be used like conventional products. The operating temperature range is -40 ℃ to +85 ℃.


Applications of Biodegradable Twist Ties


Outdoor use


Due to improved weather resistance, biodegradable twist ties can be used in outdoor environments, such as for fastening outdoor wires and cables.


Medical field


Radiopaque medical biodegradable twist ties have broad applications in the medical field. They can be used in surgeries such as long bone fracture repair caused by trauma and the repositioning of the greater trochanter in total hip arthroplasty. These ties can be biologically degraded within the body, avoiding secondary harm to patients. Additionally, they can be monitored for degradation using X-ray imaging.


Twist-HD Paper Twist Ties: Biodegradable


The paper twist ties launched by Twist-HD are also biodegradable. They can be recycled, offering an eco-friendly choice for businesses and consumers seeking sustainable solutions.


Twist-HD paper twist ties can be widely used in various industries, especially in the food packaging industry, to securely seal packages and ensure the freshness of the contents. These ties are very popular due to their ease of use and can quickly seal products. The Twist-HD paper twist ties come in a variety of colors and lengths, allowing users to classify them by color, enhancing functionality and visual appeal.


In conclusion, with increasing awareness of environmental protection and technological advancements, the market demand for biodegradable twist ties will continue to grow. In the future, biodegradable twist ties may develop towards higher weather resistance, stronger mechanical properties, and broader application fields. Concurrently, the development of more efficient and cost-effective biodegradable materials will also be a key direction.
