Vulcan Announces Eco-Pullbox - World's First Biodegradable Product Tether



Responsible businesses and companies are embracing new environmental regulations. Vulcan Spring & Mfg. Co., inventor of the industry-leading Pullbox® product security tether, has developed a biodegradable and compostable version of its flagship product.

"As companies strive to achieve new environmental standards and also establish their ecological credentials with increasingly savvy customers, our new Eco-Pullbox helps support their efforts," explained Bob Gustafson, Vulcan's Vice President of Sales.

The Vulcan Eco-Pullbox employs a proprietary material that is biodegradable and compostable. The material is used to house the tether wire and eliminates an entire source of plastic content into the waste stream. It has similar characteristics to the original housing material but offers an ecologically friendly alternative that enhances responsible environmental compliance.

"Vulcan invented the security tether category and followed it up with other innovations including alarmed-tethers and the miniVS, and today we are proud to again break new ground in our industry," explained Gustafson. "When it comes to the environment every little bit helps and we plan to partner with our customers so they can meet whatever green goals they set for themselves and their businesses."
