DuraClear™ 2000 Biodegradable Enhanced Linear Low Density Polyethylene (EDC2) Biodegradable DuraClear 2000 (EDC2) is a strong, durable material that is ideal for multiple applications, offering a costeffective and reliable alternative to other biodegradable film products. EDC2 contains a proprietary additive that causes biodegradation of the poly in one to five years, depending on exposure conditions. Material performance properties and bag shelf life remain intact, as biodegradation only occurs when in contact with other biodegrading material, such as the conditions found in landfills, home and commercial composting. EDC2 bags biodegrade in both aerobic (with the presence of free oxygen) and anaerobic (without the MIL presence of free oxygen) conditions. EDC2 material is also completely recyclable and ecologically safe. 1.09 Genuine Autobag® bags-on-a-roll and SidePouch® bags-in-a-box are system-matched and guaranteed to run on all Automated Packaging Systems’ bagging equipment.

Actual results may fluctuate due to inherent process variation. Test data and mil thickness reflect EDC2 material only. Certain minimum purchase volumes may apply. The additive used in EDC2 has been tested by independent laboratories in accordance with standard test methods approved by ASTM, ISO, and other such standardization bodies, and has been approved for marketing as biodegradable and safe for the environment. California currently prohibits labeling any plastic product as biodegradable. © 01/13 Automated Packaging Systems, Inc. Features, Options and Technical Specifications subject to change.
