We do not have data showing how much time it takes for the fasteners to completely degrade. *We have completed 3rd party ASTM D5511-18 testing that shows that our Ecotach Elastic Staples degrade 10.63% over 45 days in a landfill environment. Once the Ecotach Elastic Staple is placed into a landfill, naturally occurring bacteria in that environment breaks the fastener down without leaving behind microplastics or any other harmful substances.* These products are shelf-stable and will not begin to degrade unless put into the designated end-of-life waste stream. Comparatively speaking, a typical thermoplastic polyurethane fastener would degrade ~0% over the same time frame and take anywhere from 20 -30 years to break down, depending on environmental conditions. Large paddle heads prevent price switching and provide tangle-free operation. Made of polypropylene with smooth edges to affix tags. The technology used results in no microplastics* so that when this staple completely degrades, all that is left is carbon dioxide, water, and microbes (biomass). Product Description Monarch Tagger Tail Fasteners, Polypropylene, 2' Long, 1,000/Pack - 2 Tagger Tail fasteners are designed for use with Monarch Tag Attacher Gun (sold separately). We do not have data showing how much time it takes for the fasteners to completely degrade.Įcotach Elastic Staples are made from a proprietary blend of thermoplastic polyurethane material specifically designed to degrade* at an accelerated rate of 10.63% over 45 days in landfill conditions. *We have completed 3rd party ASTM D5511-18 testing that shows that our Ecotach Plastic Staples degrade 10.63% over 45 days in a landfill environment.

Maintaining the same production processes ensures that customers can get all the benefits of using recycled content without any carbon emission increase in production.Įcotach Plastic Staples are made from a proprietary polyurethane material specifically designed to degrade* at an accelerated rate of 11.91 % over 45 days in landfill conditions. The fasteners meet the same specifications as our virgin fasteners, including our production parameters. The rPP fasteners are designed to maximize our recycled content while maintaining the product performance customers need. 2 Tagger Tail fasteners are designed for use with Monarch Tag Attacher Gun (sold separately). (4,926kg) when purchasing 100% recycled content fasteners.īrands and retailers can utilize existing tools to apply these new recycled fasteners. (4.16kg) when purchasing 100% fasteners.Ĭustomers using over 100 million of 30% fasteners annually can reduce the landfill load by as much as 3,260lbs (1,478 kg) of plastic take-out containers annually, increasing to 10,860 lbs. The environmental benefits created by using these tagging fasteners can be impactful.Īn outer container of 30% fasteners reduces the landfill by more than 2.97 lbs (1.346kg) of single-use plastic take-out containers. Use to attach tags to coats, dresses, sportswear, children's wear, toys, bedding, accessories and more.These fasteners use 100% or 30% recycled polypropylene (rPP) derived from single-use take-out containers. 2" Tagger Tail fasteners are designed for use with Monarch Tag Attacher Gun (sold separately).
