As well as having biodegradable wads and cases with 0% plastic that increase the environmental sustainability of Sports Shooting, our Clay cartridges also offer exceptional and carefully balanced performance with great accuracy, patterning, recoil and effectiveness.
TECHNOLOGY FOR THE ENVIRONMENT
BIOAMMO offers a sustainable solution to the significant problem of single-use,
petrochemical plastics in munitions and their adverse effect on the countryside and
landfills.
BIOAMMO’s wads and cases are 100% biodegradable and compostable* and
leave zero micro-plastics behind.
They can simply be added to the organic rubbish, put on the compost heap or buried,
allowing micro-organisms to turn the wads and cases into a fertilising biomass. The
metallic bases are also designed to oxidise into eco-friendly matter.
BIOAMMO’s plastic-free technology enhances their premium performance too with
improved energy transfer and patterning.
■ A conventional cartridge contains 7 grams of plastic which could make 4 plastic bags.
■ Picking up the cases and wads is laudable but they usually then go to landfill
where they remain for ±500 years, breaking down into micro-plastics and entering
the food chain.
■ Others are burnt and pollute the atmosphere.
■ Fibre wads also often contain bitumen and plastic seals.
■ Water-soluble wads still leave a residue and can have storage issues.
■ Recycling is not a sustainable option as it is costly and only defers their disposal.
