Tyvek® Desiccants Remain in Landfills Indefinitely
Switch to Micro-Pak: A Sustainable, Safe and Effective Alternative

Referred to in the industry as a desiccant, the tiny "Do Not Eat" packets that often arrive in food, drugs and durable goods are used to prolong, preserve and protect goods as they travel along the supply chain. Removing residual water vapor from inside sealed containers or packages, these desiccants prevent mold, mildew, rust and corrosion.

The majority of the desiccants implemented today are constructed of Tyvek®, a DuPont brand of synthetic flashspun nonwoven high-density polyethylene fibers, or simply put plastic. While Tyvek® desiccants seem harmless, in reality they have a tremendous negative environmental impact and carbon footprint. Because these packets are small in size, they’re difficult to recycle and the cumulative quantity of this plastic packaging material is adding up quickly in landfill where it remains indefinitely. With heightened green initiatives and a growing segment of eco-conscious consumers, Tyvek® desiccants are being scrutinized more than ever.

Strengthen your brand and protect products longer while preserving the planet simply by converting to Micro-Pak Dri Clay® all natural, plastic-free biodegradable desiccants. Dri Clay® desiccants will decompose 90% within 30 days yet offer the best possible protection to any product. Made with all natural bentonite clay that is packaged in a high quality sustainable Kraft paper, Dri Clay® desiccants are biodegradable certified per ASTM standard D5511 and ISO 15985 and FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) certified. Dri Clay® Kraft desiccant packs also meet U.S. FDA requirements for contact with food and pharmaceuticals.
