This wire is not made from biodegrable materials, but it is long lasting and recyclable. It is a Polyester/Polyamide substitute for steel wire and makes best use of plastic’s best features: it is long-lasting, light weight and easy to work with. This extruded wire is designed to provide an alternative in environments where steel wire does not perform well, like coastal areas and environments with high natural sulphur.
Although it is made from plastic, it is designed to be environmentally respectful. It is long lasting and will not breakdown to create microplastics.
