First-time exhibitor Biogone has a range of plastic packaging solutions that are bio-degradable in landfill, as well as recyclable. Products include bin liners, tapes, bubble wrap and a range of warehousing solutions.

Company founder Ross Headifen said: “They have the same properties as plastic, but will biodegrade in landfill, thanks to an ingredient we insert in the process.”

John O’Connor, sales manager said: “The products biodegrade in landfill, essentially a bacteria turns them into poo.”

The company’s proprietary organic supplement to the plastic, added at the time of product production, allows naturally occurring microbes in landfills to digest the plastic and break it down into its constituents of a biogas and a sludge (humus).

The Biogone range is fully recyclable, and has the REDcycle stamp of approval.

Biogone is on stand H195.
