Tubex Nature is a new range of tree shelters designed to be biodegradable and non toxic*. Tubex Nature is a solution for nature when collection is difficult or sometimes impossible, the most sustainable alternative solution designed for areas with dense woodland and difficult access where collection and recycling is not practical *Currently under testing for ISO:17556 Soil Biodegradability. Tested against OECD 207 for Earth-worm ecotoxicity and OECD 208 for Plant ecotoxicity – No acute toxicity detected
A new generation of tree shelters
Excellent light transmission modelled on our original TUBEX Standard tree shelter
High quality & fit for purpose
TUBEX Nature provides protection against browsing animals and accelerates growth by creating a microclimate
Bio-based & Biodegradable
With all its components certified for biodegradability*, TUBEX Nature will over time start to degrade and breakdown into water and CO2 through a microbiological process. We are also currently testing the finished tube against ISO:17556 Soil Biodegradability for added peace of mind. The rate and period of time biodegradation will depend on soil and climate conditions. Mulching or burying Tubex Nature at its end of life will significantly increase the rate of this process. *All components of TUBEX Nature have been tested and certified to biodegrade, passing the norm 14995:2006
Light brown colour to blend in with nature
Tubex Nature light brown colour is bio-based and designed to help the tubes blend in with their surrounding environment. The new colour clearly distinguishes it from Tubex Standard to allow for continued recycling without confusion.
