Biodegradable cable ties must be used for temporary purposes due to their biodegradable composition, and provide a more ecological and environmentally friendly option.
These cable ties are ideal for use in temporary construction, events, operations or landscaping due to the degrading nature of these ties.
It takes a minimum of 2 years for these cable ties to biodegrade, depending on the conditions under which they are stored.
Our biodegradable cable ties decompose under prolonged exposure to UV light, heat, moisture and microorganisms. Once decomposition starts, the ties will break and start to biodegrade.
These biodegradable cable ties are quick and simple to install in the same manner as their plastic counterparts.
