Ilford has recently introduced its new BioMedia range, a biodegradable alternative for today’s wide-format commercial inkjet vinyl products during the recent used the SGIA 2011 show. BioMedia won the Media-Vinyl Category in the prestigious SGIA Product of the Year Awards. The company announces that its BioMedia range completely breaks down under anaerobic (no oxygen) landfill conditions thanks to a unique enzyme that accelerates the biodegradation process.
As a replacement for widely-used, and ever-lasting, traditional vinyl-based products, the ILFORD BioMedia line includes rigid mounting boards, laminates and films that employ the company’s renowned coating technologies to create print surfaces that maximise the environmental benefit without compromising image quality. The BioMedia products have been tested by an independent laboratory and meet ASTM (American Society for Testing and Materials) standard D5511.
