Bio Twist Ties

Biodegradable twist ties

1mm gauge mild steel with a soil biodegradable polymer coating. The raw materials are individually certified as soil biodegradable and colours are derived from minerals.

Available as a 1,000m spool of continuous (un-cut) ties or,

  • 100mm
  • 150mm
  • 200mm cut lengths

(we can customise cut lengths between 60mm and 280mm)

We use a soil degradable bio plastic which means that the used ties will break down where they are dropped on the soil. Composting conditions are not required but will speed up the biodegradation process.
The benefit of plastic ties over paper is that they can be used in wet areas such as a nursery, garden centre or outside without the coating disintegrating.

Application in horticulture include:

  • Fixing labels to scrubs or young trees
  • Training of vines or young branches in a vineyard or orchard
  • Secure plants to a support structure

Application beyond horticulture include:

  • Fixing labels to equipment or tools e.g. safety instructions or guidelines
  • Packaging such as security products to header cards
  • Crafts and floral decorations
