Biodegradable Foam Board is Now Available

Mounted Graphics that are Environmentally Friendly! 

THE BIODEGRADABLE POLYSTYRENE CENTER, with 15% recycled content, is formulated with “bio resins”. These bio resins cause the discarded foamboard to degrade in landfills or commercial composters once the foam is exposed to a bacteria-rich environment. These bio resins actually transform the structure of the polystyrene, while attracting microorganisms that metabolize and neutralize the plastic. After decomposition, only a biomass compost remains . This material is safe for the environment.

Our exclusive polystyrene center requires one to five years for 100% breakdown, whereas conventional foamboards will not biodegrade for 80 to 450 years.

Is there a “green trade-off” in terms of performance? No way. On the job, AIR Graphic’s biodegradable products are virtually identical to standard foam board. The difference is, BIODEGRADABLE foam boards return to nature when their working life is over.

THE BREAKDOWN OF THE BIODEGRADABLE FOAMBOARD WILL NOT BEGIN UNTIL IT IS DISCARDED IN A LANDFILL OR SIMILAR SOLID WASTE FACILITY.
