BIOSOFT TECHNOLOGY

Each day, workers across the world dispose 50 million disposable hearing protectors in landfill where it takes centuries to breakdown. These new, sustainable ECOSeries™ BioSoft™ ear plugs are the first TAA compliant hearing protectors to be made from 82% bio-based material.

The soft, smooth, low pressure BioSoft™ biodegradable ear plug foam is Made in America. It provides wearers with the same fit, comfort and performance (NRR 32) as conventional polyurethane or PVC ear plug materials but boasts a lower carbon footprint –up to 5.6x less CO2 Carbon Emissions than traditional polyurethane foam ear plugs.

END OF LIFE

BioSoft™ foam technology not only reduces emissions during its manufacturing, it’s more environmentally friendly at end of use. In fact, ear plugs featuring BioSoft™ technology will decompose 76% in 180 days* whereas traditional PU or PVC foam type ear plugs remain unchanged in landfill indefinitely, compounding an environmental problem that won’t go away.

CONVERT TO SUSTAINABLE

It is time to change those ear plugs forever! The BioSoft™ ear plug foam material provides the same fit and performance as conventional polyurethane or PVC materials, but with a lower carbon footprint. This innovative technology not only reduces emissions during manufacturing, but it contains bio-based materials making BioSoft™ more environmentally friendly at end of use.

The correct use of disposable ear plugs is critical to ensure optimal hearing protection. The Mega Bullet™ earplugs provide excellent noise reduction, and comfort ensuring that you can work with protection from by external noises. And here's the best part….it’s a better solution for our planet. Contact MDS us to learn more about this award-winning product and how it can benefit your workforce.
