Comments

Extruded netting is pervasive in both our shopping bags and in landfill, and although highly effective as a carryall, brings problems for the environment. Now this humble product has been reinvented as BioNet - made from a compostable polymer that is guaranteed to break down after 180 days in industrial compost. The biopolymer is easily extruded using existing equipment and performs just as well as traditional netting. It is available in a range of colours, tube diameters and strand gauges to suit varying applications.
