NARRAGANSETT, R.I., March 28,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- bioaqualife is proud to announce
that it is an official shrinkwrap partner of New York Yacht Club
American Magic, the US Challenger for the 37th America's Cup. The
America's Cup is the oldest organized international competition in
the world. In 2023, NYYC American Magic's previous boat, Patriot,
was covered with bioaqualife's biowrap, a revolutionary (now green)
alternative to traditional marine shrinkwrap films, before
transportation from Pensacola, US, to Barcelona, Spain.
This partnership highlights bioaqualife's commitment to
environmental stewardship and its mission of creating eco-friendly
performance products that will revolutionize the single-use plastic
industry. In the US alone, more than 92 million pounds of
shrinkwrap are used for boats, and the majority ends up in
community landfills. Since biowrap degrades using microbial
consumption, it minimizes environmental contamination.
"We are thrilled to partner with American Magic for the 2024
America's Cup," said Carsten
Petersen, General Manager of bioaqualife. "Our biodegradable
shrinkwrap matches American Magic's commitment to sustainability
and their mission of showcasing American-made innovative
products."
"American Magic is proud to align with bioaqualife because of
their biowrap products," said Tyson
Lamond, Chief Operating Officer of American Magic. As a
team, we are dedicated to adopting sustainable solutions that
reduce our environmental footprint and contribute to addressing
pressing sustainability issues. We firmly believe in the potential
for a more sustainable future."
Through this partnership, bioaqualife and American Magic intend
to raise awareness about the need for environmental conservation.
By showcasing biowrap's exceptional performance and
biodegradability globally at the America's Cup, American Magic and
bioaqualife hope to inspire individuals, businesses, and
organizations to prioritize sustainability.
Key biowrap features:
- Rapid Biodegradability and Recyclable: When discarded in an
oxygen-free environment, such as in a landfill, the material will
decompose into non-toxic, organic components with NO microplastics.
Otherwise, the material is stable. All biowrap products break down
at an impressive 20% rate in only six months, according to a
third-party ASTM D5511 lab test.
- Fire Retardant: All biowrap products carry a minimum ASTM E84
Class A Certified rating.
- Durable Material: ASTM testing proved all biowrap products
outperform traditional shrinkwrap. The film welds easily and
creates stronger, longer-lasting seams than alternatives.
- Products: biowrap available in 20' to 40' widths, biodegradable
tape, and zipper doors.
