Recently, Carbios and Sleever launched SeelCap Onego, the world's first tamper evident seal for at-home composting.
What revolutionizes this innovation is the direct integration of CARBIOS Active, the biodegradable solution developed by CARBIOS for PLA, into the production process, making these PLA-rich films home compostable.
SEELCAP® ONEGO decomposes completely under composting conditions, even at room temperature in less than 6 months (TÜV Austria “OK Compost HOME” certification for SEELCAP® ONEGO is pending).
SEELCAP® ONEGO reduces the carbon footprint by up to 70% compared to traditional shrink films and significantly improves the recyclability of this type of packaging. This complete solution brings a fundamental change in sustainability, while meeting the needs of brands for security, traceability and mass production.
These compostable seals are particularly suitable for products packaged in glass, especially those sealed with wooden caps, such as bottled wines, spirits and alcoholic products.
It also solves a problem for recyclers. Due to the small size of tamper-evident seals (less than 60 mm), conventional plastic tamper-evident seals are not compatible with conventional packaging sorting and recycling processes, so a new alternative provided by this biodegradable, home-compostable solution is needed.
