Enviro-friendly bottle caps

Enviro-friendly bottle caps

Norland International Inc. introduces the industry's first oxo-biodegradable cap for five-gallon water bottles. Injection-molded, LDPE Earth Caps contain a unique additive that accelerates the degradation process, resulting in total degradation in five to 10 years. The replacement for traditional LDPE caps also features a biodegradable, non-adhesive, tamper-evident label and two-millimeter (0.078-inch) foam seal, making the entire cap structure totally biodegradable. The caps have a two-year shelf life, offer the same performance as current versions and are also FDA compliant. They are fully recyclable and compatible with municipal collection and recycling systems. www.norlandintl.com, (402) 441-3737
