Because Cocoknits is committed to avoiding plastic wherever possible, we manufactured it from PLA, a 100% biodegradable plant fiber (similar to the Needle Gauge, but not water soluble). The absence of a locking mechanism keeps them 100% plastic-free and reduces the likelihood of breakage. Each tape measure is packaged in a reusable linen drawstring bag to minimize packaging waste.
Product Details:
Made of PLA - 100% fiber waste called polylactic acid, which is made from fermented plant starch such as corn, beets, or sugar cane. It is 100% biodegradable and contains no plastic (this product can get wet; it is NOT water soluble)
Packaged individually in a linen drawstring bag with Cocoknits logo
Metal tab to keep tape from retracting into the body of the tape measure
No locking mechanism keeps them 100% plastic-free and reduces the likelihood of breakage
Dimensions:
casing: 2.5 x 2 x .5 in (6.5 x 5 x 1.27 cm)
metal tape: 78 in / 2 m long
How to Use:
The tape measure does not have a locking mechanism, so hold the metal tab or the tape at the body to keep it extended.
Care:
This PLA is not water soluble, so the tape measure can be submerged in water without causing change in the material.
