The Simport® EcoTainer 24™ will biodegrade to become some of the soil's organic components in less than 7 years, instead of up to 400 years when using conventional plastics.
The Simport® URISAFE®, one of the most innovative 24-HR Urine Containers on the market today, is now available in a new version: The EcoTainer 24™, a rapidly degradable URISAFE® Container. Plastics take hundreds of years to degrade naturally in the environment. The Simport® EcoTainer 24™ 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. The only condition that is necessary for the EcoTainer 24™ to biodegrade is constant contact with other degrading material. No heat, physical stress, oxygen or sunlight necessary. The EcoTainer 24™ has the ability to break down safely and quickly, by biological means, into the raw materials of nature and disappear into the environment.
