RE: RNS update re tree shelters14 Jan 2021 22:21
Biome's Bioplastics division (www.biomebioplastics.com) announces the start of a project to develop and test a new generation of biodegradable tree shelters made from the Company's bioplastics. The project has been awarded funding of £58,843 from the Government-backed Innovate UK agency.
Should this initial feasibility project prove successful, the Company may apply for further funding from SBRI Phase 2 in early 2021. It is envisaged that subsequent funding would be used to conduct extensive field trials.
On another note regarding Mask , Biome would not be able to make mask as the formulation would not be agile , it would need to combine other ingredients in order to do so ( at present do not exist )
Biome product is hard wearing and brittle , needs industrial process to break down as more stable.
Hence why its hard to find other products that can be used for.
Still a good product , but will never make bio plastic bags
