DERBY, U.K.—Clarifoil carton window and lamination film produced at Derby, UK, has earned ASTM D6400 accreditation awarded by the United States Biodegradable Products Institute in addition to its European DIN EN 13432 biodegradability accreditation gained last year. The accreditations give Clarifoil, which is used worldwide in packaging products, powerful further credentials in markets which are increasingly sensitive to environment and waste issues. Clarifoil is made from woodpulp produced from sustainable forestry, and under UK legislation is classed with paper and board for recycling, composting and use in energy-from-waste electricity generators. Another feature is that the woodpulp used to make Clarifoil has no genetically-modified content.
