Better for the Planet, These Earth-Friendly All Natural, Plastic-Free & Biodegradable Desiccants Outperform Conventional Silica Gel & Calcium Chloride Without Any Micro-Plastic!
Silica gel desiccants are widely used in the packaging of consumer goods to prevent moisture damage as they travel along supply chains. For many years, consumers didn’t give a second thought to how they are made or what happens after they are disposed. Not anymore-days are changing. 
Fast forward to today, the desiccant packet you placed inside your package to protect the product has now become a spokesperson for your company and your brand.
Studies show that a growing segment of consumers are expecting sustainable products where ever possible, including desiccants - the very first thing a consumer often sees as they open their package. If your packet is not landfill-friendly, it creates a negative emotion all the way to the trash can which could affect your brand.
Negative Environmental Impact
While these little packets seem harmless in landfill, in reality, industrial desiccants have a tremendous negative environmental impact.
If you employ Tyvek® silica gel, clay, or calcium chloride desiccants into your active packaging to protect moisture-sensitive products against deterioration, mold, mildew, rust, or corrosion along the supply chain, then you're unfortunately compounding a serious environmental problem.
Many conventional industrial desiccant absorbers are packaged in "forever lasting" materials, such as microporous laminate, polypropylene, or Tyvek® outer wrap, all of which will remain in landfill indefinitely.
Impossible to recycle, millions of these moisture absorber packets are disposed yearly, resulting in pollution, litter, and landfill where they slowly deteriorate into fine plastic particles referred to as micro-plastic - a serious environmental problem that affects the health of humans, wildlife and ecosystems - and consumers know this.
