How are UTTIL's eco-friendly materials beneficial for
the environment?
UTTIL's commitment to sustainability is evident in our pioneering use of
environmentally friendly materials, such as the Wood-PP composite. This
game-changing composite, made from wood industry by-products, significantly
reduces our dependence on petroleum-based plastics. The unique benefits of our
Wood-PP composite, such as its durability and eco-friendliness, make it a
compelling choice for those who care about the environment.
4.
How is a compostable and brittle material like PLA
suitable for hand tools?
UTTIL has created a PLA formulation that can be used in hand tools and does not
lose its composting properties through R&D studies with PLA developers.
This new raw material, which does not impair the compostable qualities of PLA
and is 100% compostable, has passed various tests based on use, such as 30-day
immersion in sunlight and shade. With its current structure, PLA takes 50-70
years to dissolve. Still, it is possible to shorten this period by sending it
to compost facilities or decomposing it into tiny granules. As a result, when
PLA dissolves, it forms a natural waste that feeds plants and bacteria.
