LONDON - Direct mail and print company Mail and Print Services (MPS) has created the first fully-biodegradable window envelope to be approved by Royal Mail.
The MPS Envirlope features a paper-based transparent window instead of plastic film.

The new window material is made from a cellulose base wood pulp sourced from managed forests that meet the Sustainable Forestry Initiative Standard. It is fully recyclable and biodegradable.

Rob Fagnani, managing director of MPS, said: "The Envirlope is no different to any other window envelope and costs about the same.

"Normal production processes can be applied and it carries the same qualities as a conventional envelope, except its 100% biodegradable.

"What's more, if the envelopes are made from a range of 100% recycled and FSC-approved paper stocks, the mailing pack can be made even more environmentally friendly."

The Envirlope has also been approved by postal authorities in America and France.

I had a large flat on the front was emblazoned "This envelope bio-degrades in warm water". As it was a hot day and I was sweating profusely and this envelope was at the back of the bundle, I can confirm that it does indeed bio-degrade rather quickly.
Silly idea if you ask me.
