TPU (Thermoplastic Polyurethane) presents a compelling alternative to PVC due to its numerous eco-friendly qualities. TPU stands out for its durability, flexibility, and non-toxic nature. TPU is a remarkable material known for its eco-friendly characteristics, designed to be fully recyclable and biodegradable.
Unlike traditional plastics that can persist for hundreds of years, TPU has a much shorter biodegradation timeframe. When disposed of in appropriate conditions, TPU can break down into smaller particles within 3 to 5 years. TPU significantly reduces the long-term environmental impact associated with plastic waste. This aligns well with sustainability goals at Hello Bleach and contributes to minimising the accumulation of plastic debris in landfills, and natural ecosystems.
PVC on the other hand, contains hazardous chemical additives, contributing to toxic emissions during production and disposal. PVC's complex composition makes recycling impractical and costly.
TPU's advantages extend beyond its environmentally conscious manufacturing process. Its key benefits include:
- Greater flexibility coupled with excellent strength
- Reduced weight for added convenience
- High resistance to abrasion, ensuring prolonged durability
- Impressive resistance to oil and solvents
- Long-lasting, with resistance against aging and cracking
- UV resistance for enduring quality
- Enhanced sustainability due to its recyclability and biodegradability
By opting for TPU in your Hello Bleach Bib 2.0, you're not only selecting a material that offers superior performance but also aligning with a non-toxic, 100% recyclable, and biodegradable solution that prioritises environmental responsibility.
