- Additional information
- This arose from a successful research partnership with Green Light Products. Following the manufacture of loose fill, we also continued with the development project and manufactured biodegradable packaging boards, with the same technology of expanding starch using extrusion processing technology.
Instead of using a rotating knife to chop the strands exiting the extruder die into loose fill we extruded long strands which could then be compresses together into biodegradable boards for packaging. https://greenlightpackaging.com/eco-flo/ contacts CEO and Technical Director.
