FAQs

Our BioMail will degrade naturally back to oxygen, carbon dioxide and water. Our BioMail does not need an industrial facility to be composted and is also safe if ingested by snails, insects and other land and aquatic animals.

The printing ink used on our BioMail is alcohol based and non-toxic.

While our BioMail has passed the acute oral toxicity test, it is not certified as food and cannot be considered as edible.

Our BioMail dissolves instantly in boiling hot water, softens in cold water and leaves only a small amount of ash when burnt; contrary to conventional plastic which leaves molten residue behind.

  • To retain their quality, BioMail should be stored in a dry space at a mild temperature.
  • Humidity and higher temperature, direct contact with water and sunlight can affect the physical properties of the material and speed up the biodegradation process.

  • We guarantee a shelf life of two years, provided you store it sealed inside the original packaging.
  • At longer or inappropriate storage, the quality starts degrading. Once the original packaging is opened, the shelf life will be shortened.

We need your desired measurements, artwork requirements and your preferred order quantity for us to generate the best offer for your order. Get in touch with us using our contact form and we can discuss your order.

We recommend you reuse the BioMail as many times as possible until its end of life. After that you can discard it into any designated trash bin or throw it in your home compost - after all, its plastic free and biodegradable.
