March 14th marks Science Education Day, a tribute to both the mathematical constant π (pi) and Albert Einstein’s birthday. At Pacron, we recognize the power of scientific innovation in shaping a more sustainable packaging industry. Our dedication to research, rigorous quality control, and cutting-edge technology allows us to lead the way in environmentally friendly packaging solutions.
The Role of Science in Sustainable Packaging
Science is at the heart of everything we do at Pacron. We continuously push the boundaries of innovation to develop packaging that balances functionality with environmental responsibility. Through extensive research and collaboration with industry experts, we’ve made groundbreaking advancements that redefine sustainability in packaging.
Revolutionizing Biodegradable bubble Packaging by adding BioNatur™ Technology
Our commitment to sustainability and scientifically backed products led us to collaborate with some of the country’s most respected scientists. The result? Our groundbreaking Pacron Bio line, featuring BioNatur™ bubble packaging. This innovation represents a significant leap forward in biodegradable packaging technology.
BioNatur™ bubble packaging is a truly biodegradable material designed to break down in landfill environments within 3 to 5 years. This remarkable feat of engineering ensures that our packaging solutions are not only durable and functional but also environmentally friendly. By maintaining the resilience and functionality of standard plastics while significantly reducing long-term environmental impact, the additive that we put into our biodegradable bubble: BioNatur™ addresses a critical concern in our industry.
Consider this: approximately 95% of all plastic waste ends up in landfills. Traditional plastics can take hundreds of years to decompose, if they do at all. The BioNatur™ additive tackles this issue head-on, providing a solution that doesn’t compromise on performance but drastically reduces environmental persistence.
Validating Our Claims: Rigorous ASTM Testing Standards
In an industry flooded with unsubstantiated claims about “biodegradable” packaging, Pacron stands apart. We understand the importance of scientific validation, which is why you would never see us put out any official claim anything if it hasn't gone through rigorous third-party testing.
The BioNatur™ additive that we place in our biodegradable bubble has undergone ASTM D5511 and ASTM D5536 testing, two of the most respected standards in the industry for assessing biodegradability. Let’s break down what these tests entail:
These standardized tests offer concrete, scientific evidence of our packaging’s biodegradability. When we say our products biodegrade in 3-5 years, it’s not just a claim – it’s a scientifically proven fact.
The Science Behind Our Success: Quality Control Excellence
At Pacron, we place science and scientifically proven methods above all else. This unwavering commitment to scientific rigor is the cornerstone of our exceptional quality control reputation. Our approach involves:
