Using 100% organic-sourced biocomposite material for hunting ammunition components
Traditional Ammunition and its Environmental Impact:
- Widespread Plastic Pollution: Currently, most hunting ammunition components are made from petroleum-based plastics like HDPE. These components persist in the environment for decades, fragmenting into micro-plastics that pollute soil, water, and the food chain. This harms wildlife and ecosystems through ingestion, entanglement, and chemical contamination.
OCALO Bio-composite is a Game Changer:
Reduced Plastic Use and Pollution: Replacing traditional plastics with our 100% organic-sourced biocomposite, OCALO, significantly reduces plastic pollution in the environment. This benefits wildlife directly by minimizing ingestion, entanglement, and exposure to harmful chemicals.
Biodegradability: Unlike traditional plastics, OCALO is composed of organic materials and breaks down naturally through biological processes like fungus and bacteria. This eliminates long-term plastic pollution in the environment.
Equivalent Performance: The fact that OCALO maintains the physical characteristics of traditional plastics like HDPE while being biodegradable is crucial. This ensures functionality and safety without compromising performance for hunters.
CIP Approval: The CIP (Commission Internationale Permanente pour les Épreuves des Armes à Feu Portatives) approval signifies the safety and reliability of OCALO for use in ammunition loading, addressing potential concerns about its innovative nature. It is safe to use in hunting and sports ammunition.
The use of OCALO has the potential to revolutionize the hunting ammunition industry by:
Minimizing environmental impact: Reducing plastic pollution and promoting biodegradability.
Protecting wildlife: Lowering the risk of harm to animals through plastic ingestion, entanglement, and chemical contamination.
Promoting sustainability: Offering an eco-friendly alternative to traditional ammunition components.
