ACG Pharmapack launches Bio-D, biodegradable PVC film

ACG Pharmapack, the company known as a pioneer in introducing high moisture barrier, pharma-grade PVdC coated PVC films in India, has launched a unique bio-degradable calendared PVC film, Bio-D. As compared to normal PVC films, these PVC films render themselves biodegradable at an enhanced rate when they are exposed to active biological landfill environments. The biodegradability of these films has been confirmed using ASTM D5511 testing method and validated by an independent third-party laboratory.

Bio-D does not compromise on the intended application and usage condition, and retains the sturdiness, and physical, as well as chemical properties exhibited by normal PVC films. Besides being available in various customisable thicknesses, the biodegradable PVC films have the same shelf life as normal PVC films. These films can be recycled using already established recycled streams, just like normal PVC. ACG’s Bio-D PVC films are also FDA-compliant for direct food contact application and meet with US Federal Trade Commission’s “Green Guidelines.” Bio degradation of these films may result in methane outgassing, which could be harnessed as an alternative energy source. This landfill gas energy is US EPA recognised renewable energy source.

Bio-D PVC films provide a sustainable packaging option that increases your brand value by being associated with green initiatives. In addition, it reduces the environmental impact, while protecting your product as well as the planet.

These films are aptly supported by a wide range of pharma packaging solutions from ACG including blister-packing and cartoning machines, camera inspection systems, and case packers.
