From supermarket food containers to PPE, plastic goods feature heavily in our day to day lives, and the consequences of their high usage is seen in landfills and natural environments all over the world.
Plastic materials generally take centuries to break down naturally, and single-use consumables such as wipes are disposed of in their billions. This number has been magnified since the COVID-19 pandemic began. More than ever, this makes solutions that don’t harm the environment while offering the same high standards of hygiene and cleanliness essential.
At HC Innovations, we are proud to manufacture the 100% sustainable and plastic-free Vinco®-ZeroWipe cleaning and sanitising wet wipe range.
What is the Vinco®-ZeroWipe wet wipe made from?
The Vinco®-ZeroWipe is manufactured from 100% viscose materials. Viscose materials are derived from plant fibres that are fully compostable, and HC Innovations only source the materials used in our ZeroWipe range from certified and controlled sources like sustainably managed plantations.
What is the difference between biodegradable and compostable?
Biodegradable refers to just any material that breaks down and decomposes in the environment thereby avoiding pollution. Compostable goods are specifically organic matter that breaks down. Most significantly, the end benefit of consumables being compostable is the ability to fertilise and improve soil health whilst minimising unsightly litter and pollution of our planet and seas.
How long does the Vinco®-ZeroWipe take to biodegrade and in what conditions?
As the materials used in the ZeroWipe are completely biodegradable and 100% plastic-free, the wipes will biodegrade in a matter of months. In soil, the fibres will disintegrate completely in compost at an ambient temperature within four months.
However, wet wipes aren’t just causing problems on land. Plastic wipes break down into microplastics, and the tiny fragments of plastic wash into our rivers and seas. As a result, millions of marine animals die each year due to plastic contamination, and wet-wipe islands and deposits overtake many beaches and natural waterways.
The fibres in the Vinco®-ZeroWipe are fully biodegradable in seawater with a biodegradation pass of greater than 90% in six months to protect the marine animals and aquatic ecosystem.
