product description

Thanks to Plantaplast, an Austria-based company, a revolutionary idea in the golf business is now a reality. Plantaplast has developed the only 100% biodegradable golf tees, which they’ve named the BioGolfTee. BioGolfTees are made mainly from wheat starch and degrade after 6-12 weeks on the golf course. They do not affect the environment or interfere with mowing machines.

The material composition of BioGolfTees contains a combination of wheat starch mixed with other natural polymers. The paint used for the 6 different colours, as well as the ink used for personalization, are also environmentally friendly.

To protect the beauty of the game, the quality of a tee is a very important factor. BioGolfTees are more durable than standard wood tees and offer a perfect tee-off. To make them even more unique, you can print them individually without high costs. The personalisation of the tees encourages strong product-user affinity.

What we have here is a strikingly groundbreaking and simple idea: From now on, golfers won’t have to worry about lost or forgotten golf tees on the course. BioGolfTees are made from natural wheat starch and decompose entirely within six to twelve weeks without damage to the environment.
