The container and cap will biodegrade to become some of the soil’s organic components in less than 7 years in constant contact with the soil instead of up to 400 years when using conventional plastics.
This is one of the most innovative specimen containers on the market today. Plastics take hundreds of years to degrade naturally in the environment. The only condition that is necessary for the Eco-Friendly SpecTainerTM to biodegrade is constant contact with other degrading materials. No heat, physical stress, oxygen, or sunlight necessary. The Eco-Friendly SpecTainerTM has the ability to break down safely and quickly, by biological means, into the raw materials of nature and disappear into the environment.
Non-sterile containers are only available with dark orange colored caps.
