A safer alternative to steel pins for people, animals and machinery, with biodegradable pins once applied there is no need to return to remove them as they can be left in the ground to completely biodegrade.
Once in the ground GreenStake™ Pins maintain their holding power for over 18 months. They break down into carbon dioxide, water and humus caused by microbes naturally present in the environment, biodegradability rate depends on the moisture and temperature of the soil.
Complies to ASTM Biodegradability Standards America ASTM6400 and Europe EN13432 Compliant.
GreenStake™ Biodegradable pins can be stored dry indefinitely, biodegradation only begins when in contact with the soil.
Unlike other manufacturers of degradable pins which can contain a range of plastics, GreenStake™ Pins contain absolutely no plastics or petrochemicals and only break down into carbon dioxide, water and humus.
GreenStake™ Pins have greater holding and gripping power due to its greater surface area and also include barbs on the pins shaft, this design means that the 15cm biodegradable pin has as much gripping power as a 30cm steel pin would have.
