New Application: Bio-based, Degradable Landscape Nails
Launched in the US Verde Bioresins, a California-based company, recently announced a partnership with USA Sign Frame and Stake, a US landscape stake company, to produce a bio-based, degradable landscape nail.
Verde Bioresins is a leading producer of renewable and sustainable bioplastics, specializing in the development, production, and sale of bio-based, degradable, recyclable, and renewable plastics, committed to eliminating petroleum-based plastics across various industries. The company produces PolyEarthylene® bioplastics with varying bio-based content. See image below.
USA Sign Frame and Stake, a company specializing in professional-grade residential, architectural, and industrial landscape products, offers a stake driver, the fastest and most convenient tool for securing erosion control mulch. Designed for efficient operation, it significantly saves labor, reduces costs, and reduces worker workload. With their magazine-loading mechanism, durability, and low maintenance, these anchors are ideal for use in harsh work environments. These anchors provide a stronger, more reliable support for erosion control blankets and mats than traditional metal nails, ensuring they stay firmly in place.
Now, this landscape nailing company uses Verde's biopolymers to produce nails that deliver the strength professionals demand with the sustainability the environment demands. This innovation provides landscapers, contractors, and construction teams with an industry-leading alternative to traditional wood and metal stakes, combining high performance with a reduced environmental footprint.
Traditional metal nails can remain in soil or landfills for decades, causing pollution, increasing cleanup costs, and harming ecosystems. The company's biodegradable landscape stakes combine environmental impact with high-quality performance.
Made from plant-based materials, these stakes are an alternative to petroleum-based plastics. They are biodegradable and can be broken down by microorganisms in soil or landfills. They are nearly as strong as regular plastics and can be recycled.
