Because staple pins are not biodegradable, they can take 50 to 100 years to break down. As a result, they can accumulate in soil and water and harm the ecosystem over time.

If these pins wind up in natural settings, wildlife may consume them and suffer injuries or even die, which has an impact on biodiversity and ecotourism.
