That seems like a good idea but I've no idea what the production costs or environmental impact of production is.



I'm quite sure someone will be able to find out.


Currently between 30 and 40% more than the standard grade I’m afraid, we are trialling biodegradable resins at the moment, for packaging they are up to the job adequately, the problem is the customers are reluctant to pay the extra cost.
