Why does Excel use a Bio-plastic instead of more natural materials?
The main problem with natural material is that they are generally unstable for use in BBs. This instability is useful in the fact that the BBs can degrade in a much faster time but this also causes the BBs to have a very short useful life. In many cases, other bio BBs once taken out of the bag usually have to be thrown out by the end of the day because they already started to degrade. Excel chose this material because is had a long shelf life and the BBs would not start breaking down right away even when exposed. The trade off is that it take a longer period of time to degrade. Another reason is that this material allows Excel to make the best quality airsoft BBs that players have come to expect from Excel.
