New Eco-Friendly Button Badges

My-Accessories . co . uk introduce something new to their G Series badge making range and in keeping with the ever-increasing bid to protect the environment . The world ’ s first bio button , a 100 % degradable badge .
Button badges are an attractive advertising media and their range has been extremely successful with customers who create their own gifts , school or sports badges , promotional products and much more .
Tin plate , plastic and paper are the main components of a button badge that has not changed much since it was patented in 1896 . In today ’ s society the trend for ecological products has become a priority and so they jumped at the chance to introduce a new sustainable product to their range , the Bio Button badge .
The components for the bio button are 100 % biodegradable , compostable and neutral in CO2 emissions . Composed of corn starch , wood from sustainable forests with PEFC certification and produced using solar energy in an injection moulding machine . Studies show that the life cycle of standard metal badges is limited with around 80 % thrown away and so by replacing conventional tinplate , raw material resources are saved and waste is reduced .
Once the badge is assembled using the components and their dedicated Bio Button machine the outcome is as robust as a conventional button but only half as heavy . Consisting exclusively of renewable raw material , the wood like structure conveys a natural , organic , eco feel but with a smooth finished surface it still gives the impression of a high-quality product . With a finished size of 56mm this is similar to their standard 59mm size badge which is currently the most popular size .
When disposed of , the badge simply breaks down into its basic components of carbon dioxide and water , with the 100 % plastic free mylar film and paper with printing ink decomposed . Biodegradable button badges transmit the idea of sustainability and protection of the environment .
My-Accessories . co . uk provide their customers with the badge components , badge machines and cutters to enable them to create their own badges . A great budget friendly way for all types of businesses .
Components for the Bio Button are available in two styles , a safety back clip or with an optional metal pin which can be removed before disposal . With their simple to use , high quality Bio Button badge machine you can create professional badges quickly and easily , producing up to 500 an hour . All machines come with a lifetime guarantee and Free badge design software is available to access on their website allowing you to create your own artwork at the correct size easily .
Since the launch of their bio button range it has already proved to be successful with many of their customers now adding this type of badge to their own range . With the trend increasing My-Accessories . co . uk hope to expand their range in the future with more eco-friendly recyclable products .
