Description

Biodegradable foam refers to the foam products that can naturally degrade over time, and are meant to be environmentally friendly. These biodegradable ingredients, including starch-based polymers or polylactic acid (PLA), are commonly used to create these foams that provide a sustainable option for traditional foam products. The global biodegradable foam market has been gaining significant traction in the recent years, owing to rising environmental concerns and stringent regulations regarding non-biodegradable foam products. Biodegradable foams are manufactured using plant-based components like polylactic acid, starch, and cellulose that break down naturally when disposed without harming the environment. These are used in end-use industries like packaging, consumer goods, automotive, and furniture due to their properties like cushioning, insulation and buoyancy. With the growing sustainability movement worldwide, many companies are rapidly shifting towards eco-friendly biodegradable alternatives to traditional petroleum-based foams to reduce carbon footprint.

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
