Starting from November 4th, YouXiaKe Shanghai Station will fully use fully biodegradable road sign tapes to further implement the concept of environmental protection into outdoor hiking.
Jinghaiweixiang GWB 500 series products are selected as raw materials and processed into PLA non-woven fabrics through spinning technology.
With the increasing number of outdoor hikes, accidents such as getting lost occur one after another. Therefore, outdoor road sign tapes have become a guiding light for many people. However, the polypropylene material used in traditional road sign tapes is a petrochemical product, and its natural degradation time takes a long time. For hundreds of years, Rangers have been searching for a more environmentally friendly solution.
After a long search and repeated comparisons, we found the technical service material support partner “Jinghai Weixiang Biomaterials Company”. Due to the small market demand and lack of corresponding equipment support and experience, fully biodegradable road sign tapes are among the best in the industry. There is also a lack of mature case reference. After half a year of exploration and polishing by both parties, we finally succeeded in proofing!
Polylactic acid (PLA) is a new type of biodegradable material made from starch raw materials derived from renewable plant resources (such as corn). It has good biodegradability and can be completely degraded by microorganisms in nature after use. , ultimately generating carbon dioxide and water without polluting the environment, which is very beneficial to protecting the environment and is a recognized environmentally friendly material.
This kind of “outdoor guiding light” that is more environmentally friendly has been successfully produced and used on a large scale in the tour group of YouXiaKe Shanghai Station. The successful development of this outdoor fully biodegradable road sign also confirms that we continue to practice sustainable travel original intention.
