Alternatives for single-use plastics are being explored globally, and biobased materials have emerged as a promising contender for that. GO!PHA member Shellworks, a UK based biotech start-up, talk about their work, technology and effort in making sustainable products in an article with The Guardian.

Once these products are finished, they can be composted without any special infrastrucure. Read more about their recent contributions in The Guardian by clicking on the link below.
